Entrepreneurship & Transnational Investment
David has independently built and managed a transnational business portfolio across the U.S.-Mexico border region, combining real estate holdings in San Diego and Tijuana with direct operational experience in food retail. His work as an entrepreneur informs his economic analysis of border communities — not as an outside observer, but as someone who has personally navigated the regulatory, financial, and logistical realities of doing business on both sides of the line.
