Humble Beginnings David’s story began as the son of a Mexican immigrant father and a rural Utah mother. When his parents divorced, 2-year-old David and his 3-year-old brother were placed into foster care until they reconnected with their father as teenagers. At eighteen years of age, David started his career in the hospitality industry as a dishwasher. Ten years later, he became the youngest franchise owner of Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour Restaurant - a division of the Marriott Corporation. Business Leader David held several leadership positions for the Marriott Corporation, and was the general manager of a large automobile dealership. These experiences, from entry level to leadership, prepared him to form the Ibarra companies which include an insurance firm, brokerage firm, learning institute, and performance software company. David is an accomplished public speaker, trainer, and success coach who is invited to deliver keynote addresses all across the United States. David received a U.S. Patent for his performance management software “Executing the Standards®”. He is also the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Salt Lake Community College.

He has also served as a board member for the Salt Lake International Airport, Utah Private Industry Council, Central Region Council of the Utah Department of Workforce Services, the Utah New Vehicle Franchise Board, Latino Leaders Network, and Utah Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Much of David’s personal charitable contributions are directed to the Ibarra Foundation, established in 2004 to make college possible for Latino students. Over 100 students have received full tuition scholarships from the Ibarra Foundation. For more than 30 years, David has been committed to “Time Tithing” - weekly mentoring sessions for people, from all walks of life, who bring their business ideas and concerns to him for advice. “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right” -Henry Ford
