David Kim Biography

David Kim, the former CEO of Baja Fresh, is now the Managing Director of Ignite Enterprises whose primary business is consulting with companies and entrepreneurs by helping them establish and grow their brands in the United States. He is the author of Ignite!: The 12 Values that Fuel billionaire Success.

In 2011, his appearance as CEO of Baja Fresh on CBSs hit show Undercover Boss drew one of the shows largest audiences to date and resulted in unprecedented and never before seen web traffic, according to AOL.

But the David Kim story runs much deeper. Kim arrived in America at the age of twelve. His father, a South Korean ambassador, was forced to flee the country in the wake of the assassination of the president of South Korea. Penniless, Kims family moved into a two-bedroom apartment in southern California.

To earn money for the family, Davids father would take him to swap meets, spread out a blue tarp, and leave his son with a pile of plastic toys to sell on the streets. Thats where I learned the art of business, says Kim. How to serve customers, how to negotiate, how to build relationshipsit was the best business education I could have ever hoped to receive.

A serial entrepreneur by nature, Davids equity market investment group specializes in acquiring distressed companies and turning them around.

Kims love of business is matched only by his passion for service. His charitable interests involve several faith-based groups, strengthening families, and North Korean refugees freedom organizations.
