David's career took off when he became Sales Manager of Lover's Leap/Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Lynn, Massachusetts. He was later promoted to President/General Manager under the ownership of Kendal Ham. In 1988, David acquired Varsity Beverage/Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Conway, N.H.

In addition to his professional career, David served for 17 years as Police Commissioner for the Conway Police Department. He served with 4 different Police Chiefs and watched the Department become the finest in the North Country.

In 1997, David was blessed to be chosen to serve on the Building Committee, alongside Monsignor Gerald Belanger, of Our Lady of the Mountains Church in North Conway, New Hampshire. Being on this committee was one of the most important involvements of David's life. He was extremely proud of this endeavor. David continued to serve on the Finance Committee for the past 20 years. During David's time at Our Lady of the Mountains, he became a huge part of the Church Community gaining many lifelong friends, including the late Father Don Gauthier. David cherished their friendship together.

David was a man of many interests. He enjoyed traveling with his wife, Jeanne; salmon fishing in Alaska; boating on Long Lake and snowmobiling with his family. David also enjoyed countless motorcycle trips with his friends, Paul and John. They traveled from the Keys to Nova Scotia. David would also look forward to his Sunday afternoon bike rides with his brother, George. These were all cherished times in David's life.

David was also an integral member of the Mount Washington Valley Community and will be greatly missed.
