David M. J. All
American Changemaker for a Better World
David All is a multi-talented Changemaker dedicated to uplifting rural communities and driving positive change in America.
As a Cidermaker Apprentice at the historic Laurel Spring Cidery in Pennsylvania, David is learning the ancient art of cider-making under the tutelage of his uncle, Dr. David C. Sterner, the cidery's esteemed master cidermaker and CEO. In this role, David also serves as the Head of Sales and Marketing, blending his passion for craftsmanship with his expertise in strategic communication, marketing and community building.
But David's impact extends far beyond the cidery. He is a renowned storyteller, having created and hosted more than 80 in-person events, and a seasoned and trusted marketing consultant for small businesses, farmers, makers, and organizations in his local community. Drawing on his experience as a former speechwriter in the U.S. Senate and Communications Director for U.S. House of Representatives Leadership, David is a pioneer in the field of strategic communication, having built the first social media agency in Washington, D.C.
This commitment to creating positive change extends to David's ongoing work and groundbreaking research in the opioid epidemic, conducted in partnership with The Ohio State University. Through this critical work, David has identified gaps in the treatment and recovery services ecosystem for local communities, which he has coined "Recovery Deserts." This research has helped inform policies and interventions to address this pressing issue and support those struggling with substance abuse in urban and rural areas.
Through his talents, positive energy and persistence, David continues to make a lasting impact, one story, one cider, and one community at a time.
