Although David came to America with very little, he made a success of himself through hard work and an ability to recognize and take full advantage of opportunities. He started out owning one of the smallest shops in the Third Street Mall and ended up owning a business on Central Avenue in Los Angeles with annual sales comfortably in the eight-figure range. This success was not automatic, nor was it quick. It was a systematic process marked by good decisions. David's first step was to accept a lease deal offered to him during the late 1980s when the area was becoming gentrified.
