David Parsons

A mentor who was terminally ill once told me, "Above all, life is about the relationships you cultivate and the impact you make in the time you're given. Seek to enrich every life you come in contact with, and, one day you will find yourself overwhelmed by the selflessness you've sown. Let others remember you by the passion you had for life and the ways you gave of yourself on account of others. Do this, and no matter where life takes you, you will find yourself fulfilled."

I AM: Driven, dynamic, devoted, encouraging, observant, organized, positive, passionate, and personable. I am a visionary, a motivator, a mentor, a social entrepreneur, an author, an adventurer, and a big brother.

I ENJOY: CrossFit, backpacking, fly-fishing, working out, rock-climbing, surfing, photography, eating healthy, playing guitar, people watching, writing, speaking, and spending quality time with family.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU SUCCEED: My passion and expertise is in helping others forward their ideas through the creation of strategic action plans and accurate follow-through. I'm an expert in brand and relationship development, strategic planning and goal crafting, entrepreneurial consulting, budget forecasting, program design, project supervision, partnership/ sponsorship/ investment research and outreach, creative writing/ authorship, conflict management, generating marketing and advertising ideas, and motivating/ building teams.
