The S.B. Questionnaire: David Fortson
Saving the World with the Founder of LoaTree and LoaCom
“I wanted to do something to save the world,” says David Fortson, who runs two businesses aimed at doing just that.
The first one, LoaCom, is a consulting firm that helps companies, nonprofits, and government agencies improve their sustainability. “People hire us to market, communicate, and strategize on how to make a better world,” explains David. “We serve as a connecting tissue for change making across the county.”
His other company, LoaTree, produces events focused on sustainability, social justice, and/or community-building. That includes Earth Day at Alameda Park, which Fortson has helped direct since 2010. (Loa stands for “law of attraction.”)
