David was born in Roy, New Mexico on December 24, 1938, to parents Fulgencio (Flo) and Adeline (Martinez) LeDoux. The family later moved to Brighton, Colorado to enjoy life on their farm on Barr Lake. 

As a young boy David loved exploring the neighborhood and hanging out with cousins, siblings and friends. He loved playing baseball and boxing. He was proud that he made it into The Golden Gloves. David graduated from Brighton High School in May of 1956.

David had many jobs in his lifetime, but the most notable ones were Western Fasteners where he became the sales manager. Then he established CATS (Commercial, Anchor, and Tool) with his sister, brother-in-law, and co-worker of Western Fasteners. 

After leaving CATS, David and Veronica established American Industrial & Construction in 1988 which became a great family-owned business which is still being run by their children.
