Portrait of David “D14” DeSchoolmeester

Known to many as “D14,” David brings a warm, approachable presence to every conversation—grounded in practical experience and a genuine desire to see others succeed.

A Lifetime of Business Experience

Over the course of his career, David has worked alongside physicians, specialists, and business owners helping them navigate marketing, growth challenges, and leadership decisions. Through both successes and difficult lessons, he developed a deep understanding of what truly allows a business to grow in a healthy and sustainable way.

His experience eventually led to a powerful realization: long-term success requires a balance of timeless business principles and modern tools.

Where Faith and Business Meet

David’s personal faith became an important part of how he views leadership and business. The principles found in scripture—stewardship, integrity, wisdom, and service—became guiding values in the way he approaches business growth and mentorship.

This perspective eventually inspired the creation of CEO & The Carpenter, a set of lessons designed to help business leaders apply biblical principles to real-world leadership and decision making.

The Vision Behind the D14 Ecosystem

After decades of helping businesses grow, David recognized that many practice owners and entrepreneurs struggle because they lack a clear system that combines leadership wisdom, practical education, and modern technology.

The D14 Ecosystem was created to bring these pieces together in one simple framework:

  • Faith-based leadership principles
  • A supportive community of peers
  • Practical business training
  • AI-powered tools that help businesses grow

Mentoring the Next Generation of Business Leaders

Today David focuses on sharing the lessons he has learned through the D14 Ecosystem. By combining faith, community, and modern technology, he helps practice owners and entrepreneurs build businesses that are both successful and sustainable.

David's Personal Mission

“My goal in this season of life is to share what I’ve learned, help business owners avoid unnecessary struggles, and build a community of leaders who want to grow their businesses with wisdom, integrity, and faith.”
