David Francis

Ex 12th round pick of the Atlanta Braves and member of Baseball Canada, David moved to East Tennessee in 2007 on a baseball scholarship to Walters State CC in Morristown TN. After two successful years as a starting pitcher going 19-1 David signed with the Braves in 2008 playing until 2011 before moving to an independent league. After retiring from professional baseball due to family affairs and some job hopping, David started his own detailing business in the summer of 2016.

In less than 2 years his detail business blew up from the corner of his garage to an over 10,000 square foot internationally known facility specializing in higher end classic, exotic and luxury vehicles which he currently manages today. 

He started Climbing the Ladder to share success stories like his own to inspire and express to people that success could be much closer than you think.
