He is part of the TGV Investment Team and is responsible for assisting the team in identifying and evaluating potential investment opportunities. He actively monitors the broader agrifood tech landscape and performs market research to help the team stay up to date with emerging industry trends.
David joined the Tall Grass Team in his final year of studies at the University of British Columbia, where he completed a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance and Marketing. During his time at UBC, he gained valuable experience through internships at Amazon and Westbank before joining the Tall Grass Team. At UBC, he also competed on the University’s tennis team, captaining the team to their first-ever National Championship.
Raised in downtown Vancouver, David took an unconventional route into agriculture. As a "city boy" and initially unfamiliar with farming, his curiosity and drive led him to discover the significant role technology plays in addressing major challenges in our food systems. Now, he is a self-proclaimed cell ag "expert" who is continually exploring the impact technology can play on the global food ecosystem.
