At the age of 20, David started Cougar Mountain Baking Company. He named his company after the mountain near Issaquah, WA because it had some local name recognition and evoked a rugged Northwest image for his unique product. His shoestring budget was just enough to fulfill the company mission statement of producing "The Best Cookies from the Northwest". David hand-crafted his high-quality cookies, packaged them 8 to a bag, and distributed them in a few independent grocery stores and in the Seattle natural food chain, PCC Natural Markets. David was now competing head-to-head with the national powerhouse cookie companies.
