David was born in Scotland but now lives in the USA with his wife, Fern Grace. They have one wonderful daughter together…

David began his career working for 18 years as the co-owner of a wholesale electronics company in Glasgow, Scotland, where he gained a wealth of business knowledge, particularly concerning strong customer service values.

He is a member of several local groups, including the Manatee Chamber of Commerce (Small Business of the Year Finalist in 2003/2006), Manatee Chamber Round Table, Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance, Suncoast Technology Forum, and the Manatee Chamber Technology Group.

He is a past president of Lakewood Ranch Business Leaders and a charter member of Lakewood Ranch Rotary AM, serving as treasurer in the past.

Fern Grace

Columbia, Maryland

Originally from Maryland, Fern lived in Scotland with David for several years before settling down in Florida.

Fern learned about the significance of strong client relationships in her early career experiences in retail and Human Resources.

Fern’s move into the world of technology started with teaching computer skills to elementary school students. After realizing that she had a knack for this emerging industry, she joined David at Abacus Web Services as a full-time co-owner.

She is a member of several business networking groups, including the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance, Manatee Chamber of Commerce networking groups and others.
