"Knowledge is something to be shared."

David Bolt traces his extraordinary design career journey back to his passion for both the creative and logical aspects of life. With a strong foundation in architecture, he has remained with one company, GMB, for a remarkable 25 years. From starting as an intern, David now leads as their president. 

His empathy for his employees, born from experiencing a diverse range of positions within the company, has led to GMB's people-first culture.
