The PSSG Team

David Anderson President/CEO

David’s background in sales, marketing, nonprofit fundraising, and many years as an executive level leader has found a welcome place at Puget Sound Signs.   David’s career has had many interesting stops along the way including several technology companies, and nonprofit organizations.  He attended the University of Washington, College of Engineering Technical Communications and studied technical writing.   That interest quickly translated into work with IBM, Egghead Software, Allied Telesis, WRQ, Mitel, Onvia, and Digital.forest in sales capacities.  His work at Digital.forest evolved into executive leadership where he worked directly for the CEO as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for 7 years.

For the next 11 years of his career, he led small local non-profits as their Executive Director and raised money as a senior fundraiser for larger organizations namely United Way, Red Cross, and American Diabetes.
