Before launching Osakana Consulting, Davidson graduated from the State University of New York Maritime College with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation, a USCG Unlimited Tonnage Deck License, and dreams of fishing around the world.

Strong family ties and an entrepreneurial spirit encouraged Davidson to return shoreside. With now 5 years experience as an executive recruiter, Davidson is passionate about helping employers find the talent they need and salespeople find the dream careers they deserve.

When he's not introducing packaging and labels companies to their next top producers, Davidson enjoys spending time outdoors chasing yellowfin, pursuing whitetail, and navigating the mountains of the Western US in search of elk.
