David brings a unique blend of leadership, innovation, and community focus to his role at Opsahl Dawson. Known once as the “Tallest Mayor in Washington,” David served 16 years on the Kelso City Council, including 10 as mayor, all while building his firm, Futcher Group. In 2023, he merged with Opsahl Dawson to expand client support and help businesses make sense of their numbers to lead more effectively. Never one to shy away from change, David has championed forward-thinking approaches throughout his career—introducing technologies, mindsets, and even a four-day workweek more than a decade ago. He believes businesses thrive when aligned with the values and people that drive them. Originally from the South, David is a lifelong Atlanta Braves fan and proudly named his two sons after former players. He and his wife enjoy hosting friends at their one-of-a-kind home—a converted telephone company building—and living out his belief that relationships are at the heart of everything.
