Bio
Kevin McClain
David is one of the most passionate, creative, driven, entreprenurial, and decent people I've ever worked with/for. I worked for David first unofficially, then officially in the early years of launching Zyr. The product he created is best in class and he has the awards to show for it, but what's always impressed me, even to this day is witnessing the relationships he's built across all levels of the industry. While working for David I learned things about branding that stick with me to this day and I'd recommend him for anything, anyday.

Created, produce, own, market, sell, account, post, tweet, manage, live, breath and drink (neat, on the rocks or in a dry Martini) Zyr "zeer" Vodka. Zyr is a standout in the ocean of vodka brands in quality (wins the taste tests), reviews (100 points Wine Enthusiast, 5 stars Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal and Double Gold and Best Vodka of Show at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition) and gimmicks (none). In 2019, my company Symphony added two amazing, award-winning brands to our portfolio and life, Whitley Neill gins from London and Samuel Gelston's Irish whiskey. Symphony's focus has been to tell the stories of these brands, get liquid to lips, sell, promote, merchandise and publicize. David and Symphony are supported by dozens of Sales Reps, Brand Ambassadors, Brokers, Designers, Publicists, partners in production, distributor partners, restaurants, stores and more.
