David Ellingson: Bargreen Ellingson

As this year's Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine [https://www.linkedin.com/company/fesmagazine/] Dealer of the Year, there's been much to celebrate for David Ellingson [https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-ellingson-0a2b974/] and the entire Bargreen Ellingson [https://www.linkedin.com/company/bargreen-ellingson/] team in 2025. David, a third generation owner and Bargreen's President, is smart, passionate and thoughtful. Each time we connect, his passion for LIFE is on full display and inevitably I come away having learned, both about David, and also about myself. David is someone whose curiosity and willingness to dive deep into what matters, often gives me (and many of us) permission to do the same.  We hope you found a few ideas that might benefit you in your journey.
