David has held many jobs ranging from Busser to Bar Tender to Apartment Manager to Sales Associate at Home Depot to Assistant Cruise Director with Holland America Line.

One thing that has remained consistent is his dedication and enjoyment of working with the public.  After his 5th or 6th job change in as many years he became aware that perhaps the problem was not the jobs he held, but the fact that he was not in a position to influence any of the companies he worked for.

Therefore the idea of going into business for himself became increasingly tantalizing. He had always enjoyed tea, but did not know anything about it other then his experiences with Tazo, Lipton, and Celestial Seasonings. Through a series of events he found himself renting a space near down town Albuquerque and ordering shipments of fine teas.

In the three years since NM Tea Co. has been open his knowledge of the subject has increased immensely, but there is still always more to learn.
