David Connell

For the past two decades, I have focused on processing financial data and getting information into the hands of decision makers.   I have worked as a freelance bookkeeper since 2005.   Prior to that, I spent ten years at Wells Fargo and another ten in various accounting positions.  My titles have included controller, staff accountant, financial analyst, commercial loan officer and business owner.   I have worked with a wide variety of managers, owners and investors.   

I have two degrees - a Bachelor's in Finance and a Master's in Agribusiness.   

My family moved to the Valley in 1976.  I went to Shadow Mountain High School and Arizona State University.  After college, I taught at a vocational school in Kenya, with the US Peace Corps. 

I have volunteered with a variety of community organizations, including Scottsdale International Film Festival, 1n10, Arizona Community Foundation, Free Arts and the Global Fellows Program at ASU.  

I am a member of the following business groups:  Greater Phoenix Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, Local First Arizona and Arizona Small Business Association.
