As Founder & Chairman of Knightstone, David actively shapes the corporate vision for the company tapping decades of real-estate experience. Working closely with the executive team, David advises and guides the ongoing management and growth of Knightstone’s diverse portfolio.

David began his career in real estate in 1987 on the brokerage side of the industry. Over the subsequent decade, he was actively involved in a wide variety of real estate transactions and gained extensive experience in the industry. Prior to founding Knightstone, David held the position of Vice President at a Toronto based private real-estate investment firm, growing its portfolio of retail, multi-residential, and office developments in Canada and the United States.
