The story

He also owns JDA Real Estate, a company that holds multiple commercial properties. So what happened in 2018?

“I heard Chris Cooper speak at a strength conference. I realized, ‘I need help,’” David said. “My gym had outgrown my leadership and operational abilities. My gym was serving my clients and my staff, but it wasn’t serving me. I knew I needed help, and Two-Brain had the values that aligned with my mission.”

With guidance from a mentor, David added extensive entrepreneurial knowledge to the skills he had acquired when completing an exercise-science degree and working as a D1 strength-and-conditioning coach. Revitalized as a gym owner, David joined the Two-Brain Tinker Program in 2020 to learn even more about business.

“I want fitness business owners see their personal and business potential and guide them down the path to achieving it.”

David has a love of systems and automations, which are the foundation of any strong business. He specializes in helping gym owners develop those systems so they can scale up and even open multiple locations if they want to.

David considers himself a student of leadership and is always learning more about personal optimization. He lives in Memphis, Tennessee, and he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children. He’s always happy to play guitar or go hunting in his spare time.
