DAVID AUGUST HEIL

After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in Psychology, David became a founding partner of David Rickey & Company in 1988. The company grew into one of the largest suppliers of custom men’s wardrobes in the country. In 2003, seeking greater freedom and creativity, David launched his new brand, David August. (August is a family name and honors both his father and grandfather.) David’s highly personalized, over the top attention to detail and meticulous wardrobing standards have become mandatory for power players from coast to coast. His job is to make sure that David August clients are properly & impeccably attired whether they’re walking into the boardroom, on a private yacht or down the Red Carpet. “We really get to know that Individual and the way he lives his life first. We’re not trying to squeeze every client into a one-size-fits-all lifestyle.” That philosophy can best be illustrated by his diverse range of clients such as; actors Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Terrence Howard and Sylvester Stallone; Dr. Jerry Buss, owner of The Los Angeles Lakers; Williams C. Powers of PIMCO; Steve Wynn of Wynn Resorts; legendary investor Warren Buffett, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta of Ultimate Fighting Championship; Movie Producer Steve Tisch; Pete Carroll coach of the Seattle Seahawks, basketball legend Jerry West, basketball star and sports announcer Reggie Miller, boxer “Sugar” Shane Mosley,   Motivational Guru Tony Robbins, the Trump family, the Gore family, Revlon’s Ron Perelman, business magnate Ron Burkle; actor and producer Clint Eastwood, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, singers Neil Diamond and Simon LeBon and last but not least two former Presidents of the United States. Along the way, David has become very active in philanthropic causes which include Aspen Art Museum, The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Help USA, The Harvesters, Athlete’s First and Mi Ocean/Orange County chapter and sits on the Board of Directors of Miracles for Kids.
