Who’s Malcolm?
Malcolm is David’s middle name, but more importantly it is the name of his maternal grandfather Harry Malcolm Johnson, a.k.a. “Mickey”. He was a World War I veteran who learned blacksmithing skills during his service. After an honorable discharge from the Army, he worked as a blacksmith for the U.S. Postal Service from 1922 to 1954. He was a very creative and inventive person who wrote songs, designed and made custom tools and equipment.
He was also well known as a kind, honest and generous person. These are qualities that David strongly admires, so he named the company as a tribute to Mickey and a commitment to incorporating those qualities into his own life and business.
