EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
DAVID SENSINGER GET TO KNOW THE FINK’S JEWELERS FAMILY
D avid Sensinger is the new watch buyer for Fink’s Jewelers, joining the home office in Roanoke, VA, at the beginning of 2023. For as long as he can remember, David has been around jewelry, spending many of his childhood days in his mother’s jewelry shop in Baltimore, MD. Try as he might to do other things, his passions always led him back to the jewelry counter. Now, we’re excited to welcome him in Roanoke as he learns a whole new side of the business. YOU’RE ABOUT TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS WITH FINK’S. WHAT HAS THE JOURNEY BEEN LIKE FOR YOU? It’s certainly been the most enjoyable of all my experiences. Coming from big box chain stores to an independent, family-owned business is a drastic change. At the other places, you’re more of a number. But at Fink’s, you’re valued more as a person and an asset to the company.

WHAT ARE YOU ENJOYING ABOUT YOUR NEW ROLE SO FAR? I think learning a new side of the business and the company is fun and interesting. Taking the watch buyer position also gives me the chance to spend more time with my two sons. I’m a single full-time parent, so being there for them more is just one of the many perks of this new job. But I’m also amazed at the sheer volume of inventory Fink’s manages and all that goes into the backside of the company. It’s been a transition but an exciting one. WHERE DOES YOUR WATCH ENTHUSIASM COME FROM? The first watch I ever owned was a Breitling, which was a gift from my mother. She owned a jewelry store when I was growing up, but I didn’t have much interest in watches. It wasn’t until later on, when my friends started asking questions and pointing out my timepiece, that I really took an interest. The rest is history from there. WHAT IS A UNIQUE HOBBY YOU HAVE? I love hiking, running, and craft beer. But my favorite hobby is probably going to any concert I can. My kids make fun of me because I’m always trying to get them to go with me. But I’ll travel a couple hundred miles to watch a show if I can make it. The largest event I’ve been to is the Blue Ridge Rock Fest, and I’ve seen Iron Maiden countless times. I absolutely can’t get enough.
