Not Your Typical Agency Founder
Most agency founders come from agency backgrounds. David came from a completely different world — a third-generation family business, national music tours, and enterprise tech sales at some of the biggest names in data and advertising.
That unconventional path is exactly why Click Track Marketing works the way it does. David understands what it means to run a small business because he grew up in one. He understands data because he lived inside Google's ad platform. And he understands creative marketing because he spent years figuring out how to get people to show up — whether it was a concert venue or a client's website.

Learn about the mission behind Click Track Marketing and why helping San Diego small businesses dominate online is personal.
The Journey to Click Track
Every chapter built the skillset. Here is how a kid from a family door shop ended up running one of San Diego's top-rated marketing agencies.

Esau Supply Company
Family Legacy, Est. 1956
David grew up in the family business. His grandfather started Esau Supply in 1956 — a doors, windows, and custom trim shop in El Cajon, CA. It was passed down to his father Ron and uncle Larry, operating for over 50 years. Working alongside family taught David the fundamentals of running a small business, serving customers, and building something that lasts.

Touring Musician & Drummer
Late 1990s – 2000s
David was the drummer for Jack's Broken Heart and went on to tour nationally. He was even featured on the hit show Yo Gabba Gabba. Fun fact — the name "Click Track" comes from drumming. A click track is the metronome drummers play to while recording. For marketing, it means the same thing: precision, timing, and tracking every beat.

Software Sales & Data Analytics
David landed a contract role at Google as an account manager for Local Services, managing accounts spending millions on advertising. After Google, he joined KickFire — a DaaS company translating IP addresses into business intelligence — where he deepened his understanding of data-driven marketing. At MotiveMetrics, he optimized high-spend Google Ads campaigns as a customer success manager, mastering the analytics that would become Click Track's foundation.
