Palmia Team
David Epstein
President and Chairman of the Board
David brought the Palmia concept from a beach in Spain to a viable product to the United States. He helped to perfect the beer with a team of beverage scientists to create the unique, all natural lemon-infused taste of what he likes to call “summer in a can.” David fueled Palmia’s initial operations, product launch, and he remains steadfast in his role as Interim CEO and Chairman of the Board. David’s energy, passion for the product, and vision day in, day out continue to propel Palmia to be what he thinks is the most innovative, unique, healthy new beverage in the marketplace.
