Making Utah

Send us a text

After becoming a Chartered Financial Analyst, earning an MBA, and finishing law school, David had the Wall Street career, but couldn't shake being drawn to Main Street businesses.
In 2018, David purchased Lehi Bakery in Lehi, Utah, home of the square doughnut. For many, lining up for a square doughnut every Saturday morning is a tradition. They are THAT good. Thanks to David, even more people can enjoy the sweet, sticky, doughy goodness of these beloved treats because he has significantly improved the company's efficiency and processes, which has led to expansion opportunities.
David's involvement in the Utah food scene doesn't stop there. His company Kensington Asset Management also owns Magleby's and Summit Pizza Co & Ice Cream.
While expanding is exciting, David does it for more than the money or clout. He does it for his people. He is passionate about changing the script on food jobs and offering more opportunities for individuals to advance. The most fulfilling thing he does is give employees the opportunity to flourish the same way someone granted that opportunity to his mom who is a great source of inspiration.
