Peter holds experience in both the public and private sector where he formerly worked as a professor and latterly worked as a marketing director for the Dunn family’s investment management company.

For almost two decades, Peter has been fundraising on behalf of various community organizations in Little Burgundy. His goal is to expand DESTA’s notoriety in order to reach more individuals, funders, and foundations.

David has spent over thirty years working in the management of a retail department- store chain and has worked for twenty years as a retail management consultant. His work in the public service domain includes being president of a local hospital, member of the hospital’s three foundations, founding director of a community health and well- being centre, committee chair for several events to support a summer camp for handicapped children, 12 years of involvement with Farha Foundation (HIV – AIDS), running an annual clothing sale that, over ten years produced net revenues to the foundation of over $1 million, involvement with the Canadian Red Cross, fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis, and president of a summer-stock theatre company.

David strongly believes in DESTA’s three key goals of providing help with education, employment, and entrepreneurship. David recognizes that Black youth often face discrimination, unfair treatment and abuse, and he wishes his contributions can help Black youth successfully move forward in their lives.
