While in ministry with his Dad and in various personal projects of his own David acquired skills and experience in construction project management and real estate development on projects that ran the spectrum from major hotels and commercial office buildings to single family dwellings.

David worked extensively throughout Europe , Latin America , Africa and Asia , organizing numerous international projects for both ministry and business, and founded a successful advertising and public relations firm, a construction company and a management consulting firm.

During his tenure, with God's help and guidance David has built the cable channel into a far-reaching media ministry. Today, The Inspiration Networks , includes INSP , a Christian cable television network reaching into more than 20 million households nationwide; i Life-TV , America's first digital Christian network reaching another 6 million homes; and La Familia , a Spanish-language network for Hispanic families coast to coast.
