 David Richardson
Business Development Manager

David first joined the Charlesglen team in 1989 on the day he received his driver's license.   Through the years that have followed, David has held numerous positions in the dealership and has gained valuable experience in every department.   From lot attendant to product advisor, parts truck driver to windshield repair, filing clerk to financial services manager, web designer to assistant sales manager.   During the mid 1990's  David left the team to earn  a business degree in entrepreneurship from the University of Victoria.  After graduating, David's heart  was captured by his wife-to-be and he was taken, forcibly, to Edmonton for ten years (remarkably, his loyalty to the Flames never wavered).  During his ten year stint in Edmonton David continued his learning endeavours starting and running two successful businesses alongside his wife.  In 2011 the opportunity came for David and his family to come home, both to Calgary and to Charlesglen and they jumped at the chance.  David believes in lifelong learning, creating a fun  and relaxed work environment and strives for excellence in everything he does.  David enjoys contributing to the team at Charlesglen Toyota Scion and credits the entire staff for creating an amazing place to work and for providing top notch service to Calgarian's for all of their automotive needs.
