David G. Alderson embodies leadership. From his service to the city, community, and alma mater, to his rise in the automobile industry, David's reach and influence are remarkable.

As selfless as he is talented, David has served dozens of years for local, regional, and national organizations in civic, education, and professional domains. A fixture in the luxury automobile industry, he currently serves on the Cadillac National Dealer Council, his third stint dating back to 1993.
