Cherished Creations, Inc. In December of 1996, he decided to
fulfill his lifelong desire to "do something to benefit
children" and thus Cherished Creations was formed. A former high
school and collegiate basketball player and now a coach with
over 25 years of experience at these levels, David continues to
make a positive difference in the lives of young adults. The
office of Cherished Creations is housed in the headquarters of
