David, and #15 race team, has proven to be the most dominant factory racing organization in the sport. David was trained by the world's premiere offshore racer, Reggie Fountain, and they spend hours together discussing innovative design changes then executing them to raise the bar of performance to enhance the offshore power boating markets.

David moved from Super V to the Unlimited Super Vee (Cat Killer) boat in 2006. In 2006, the #15 Fountain Rio Roses Unlimited boat won the National and World Championships. In fact, the team won 1st overall at the Key West World Championships in November 2006. This was the first time that any V-bottom boat has won in the unlimited class in almost 20 years. David, Reggie and Team Fountain have accomplished another giant leap for the sport of offshore and their customers all over the world.

This boat is campaigning for first overall in the unlimited class as the "Worlds Fastest Racing Boat". This boat will also make an attempt to raise the existing World Speed record of 177.888 mph later this year. On August 7, 2004 David and Team Fountain put an incredible 6 miles per hour on the existing Super Vee world speed record for a blistering 112.026 mile per hour average in a sanctioned APBA/UIM/SBI kilo.

David and his wife Janet have recently relocated their horse farm from Raleigh NC to the banks of the Pamlico River in Washington NC. David has recently left his position as Vice President of a $100 Million North American Energy Services company to join Fountain Powerboats as their President and Chief Operating Officer.
