Founder & CEO
David had dreams of being the next Justin Timberlake. However, his years in college a cappella did not quite get him there. So he pursued the next best thing - creating a site where he could sing as his job.
David comes out of the media, entertainment and learning space. Prior to starting BreakoutBand, he was the Director of Online Learning Services and Business Development for Scholastic. He was formerly a strategy consultant for McKinsey & Company, and holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School and a B.A. in Political Science from UNC-Chapel Hill. Go Heels!
