Since obtaining his Master's degree, David has been a teacher, importer/wholesaler, managing partner of a car wash chain, and advertising impresario. More than anything, he is an entrepreneur. In 2008-09, David joined millions of other small business owners who watched their company revenues drop while government spending skyrocketed.

David was stunned to see that much of the $787 billion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment (Stimulus) Act was going for Congressional pork projects that had no reasonable hope of revitalizing the economy. Deciding to laugh, rather than cry, David combined his passion for business, his love of fine cigars, and his wicked sense of humor to launch Stimulus Cigars. He hopes that Stimulus Cigars promote thoughtful conversation, and maybe even spirited debate. And if they stimulate the economy, so much the better.
