Following its acquisition by Morgan Stanley in 1997, he helped launch White Pine Investment Company, an independent firm in Livonia, Michigan. For 13 years at White Pine, David served in key leadership positions as Vice President, Treasurer, and Chief Compliance Officer.


In 2010, driven by the goal of offering a more robust, client-centric service model, David established Sculati Wealth Management. His philosophy centers on building strong relationships and delivering tailored strategies that go far beyond basic financial planning.

A dedicated athlete, David spent many years training for and competing in Ironman Triathlons. He now focuses on strength training and enjoys running, biking, and swimming for fitness and leisure. He and his wife, Carrie are proud parents to two adult children: Eleanore, who holds an MSW from Wayne State University, and Anderson, currently attending Michigan State University.
