Attorney. Builder. Operator.
I build and run companies, and counsel the ones that need an operator in the room.
I'm David Hasenauer, an attorney and operator based in Valdosta, Georgia. Most of my legal and development work runs between Georgia and Florida.
I was an Army infantryman before law school. That's still the operating system: define the objective, build the plan, execute, adjust.
I counsel operating companies, advise cities on Opportunity Zone work, and run businesses of my own: hospitality in downtown Valdosta, construction on the Florida coast, a regulated consumer brand, and AI agent systems we use internally before we sell the work.
The through-line is ownership. The law degree is most useful in the room where decisions get made. Off the clock I'm a husband, a father, and a youth baseball coach; Kasandra and I also homeschool our kids.
