David is a friendly guy with a great sense of humor. After just a few minutes of conversation, he will probably have you laughing. David’s ability to connect with others has contributed to his positive work experience at Deseret Industries. 

“I enjoy working with the people here,” David says. “Everyone is kind and considerate.” 

David recently returned to the workforce after finding himself with an unexpected financial need. He knew that Deseret Industries was a place where he could offer his skills and contribute in a meaningful way. During his career, David worked in various roles for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

“I worked at the exhibits in the North and South Visitors Centers on Temple Square,” David says. “From there, I went to work in elevators and escalators.” 

Through his work experience, David developed many strengths, including curiosity, kindness, and respect. He has built meaningful connections with his fellow DI associates by making a sincere effort to get to know them. For example, he uses his skills in American Sign Language to communicate with a deaf associate.

What truly stands out in his experience at DI is that his teammates have become friends. As a result, he feels supported in his role.

“People are great at looking for how they can help others,” David says. “If they notice that someone is falling behind, or needs support, they step in on their own.”
