won several awards such as the Strive for Excellence award, Career Life Success Award, and the Career Life Producer Award. All of these different experiences and roles helped me build a solid foundation and develop the skills that I need in order to succeed and excel with Clearview Washing today. On a more personal side I am part of the New Jersey Army National Guard. I am a CBRN specialist for the 50th Chemical Company in Somerset, NJ. Last year I was sent to Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri fromMay to the end of September. Shortly after returning my then girlfriend and I decided to get married! Due to the pandemic and indoor restrictions we decided to have an outdoor wedding and it turned out better then we could ever imagine. Some of my hobbies include playing soccer, watching horror movies with my wife, and finding new air fryer recipes.

His career in the US started at the age of 21 in the aerospace industry. This experience provided education in communication and navigation in the business world. 10 years later he was working for a dynamic new manufacturer in the roofing industry and his journey in the Common Interest Community started. He loved the challenge of bringing a new product to the market, informing professionals about ways to improve their roofs and he grew a passion in what he is best at: building connections with people. He quickly made a name for himself becoming an educator and trainer in the roofing industry. David helped the company grow with excellent sales and creating new marketing strategies making his product widely used by Engineers in NJ. During the pandemic he searched and created opportunities to establish new customer relationships and hold tight of the existing

ones. He took on the challenge of beating the pandemic blues and focused exclusively on the multifamily industry. He hosted webinars, took advantage that CAI provided education and created a social media following. He used his public speaking skills to keep the conversations going. Ultimately it was his original involvement in the multifamily industry (CAI chapters) that brought out David’s passion, creativity, and energy of forging and building lasting relationships. In the end, this is exactly what CAI is about! Currently David is working in the field of Community Association Insurance with JGS Insurance. With this recent transition he has been able to spearhead his experience and energy to create Community Association Car Chat on LinkedIn. When he is busy sipping French roast espresso, bringing industry leaders together, and fighting with his wifi on Car Chat, he is also a member of several CAI chapters, as well as serving on the CAI-NJ Business Partner Committee to which he is dedicated to help all business partners benefit from their membership. David has been featured on the Community Asset Magazine, FUN committee Member, and has been nominated for CAI’s Excellence in Education Award.
