David first memory that has fueled his passion for compliance was while working in a Fraud Department of a Federally Regulated Financial Intuition. He was asked if he would be interested in reviewing newly drafted procedures related to Anti-Money Laundering, given the overlap that is sometimes seen between a Fraud Department and an Anti-Money Laundering Department in relation to reviewing of transactions/active. David jumped on the chance and resulted in him moving over into Anti-Money Laundering role and the rest is history – he has been in compliance roles ever since.

David is a true supporter of Outlier’s mission statement “good compliance can enable good business” He is also a firm believer that it starts with the tone at the top.
