A Chat with June’s Profile, David Lorsch, founder, president and CEO, DBL Distributing Inc.

CS: How did the company get started?
David: I was out of work. I had been working in national sales for a video accessory manufacturer. When I started thinking about what I could do, I realized there was a gap in the electronics accessory distribution market. There were a few people in the eastern U.S. that were growing the market via catalog and flier. But there was nobody in the West. Around the point I started my company, there was no distributor specializing in accessories to independent retailers west of St. Louis. I identified what I perceived to be a hole in the market. And luckily, I was right.
