Meet the High Sierra Showerheads Team
David Malcolm CEO, Founder
The founder of High Sierra®, David Malcolm, leads his company with focus and kindness. The family-owned business has thrived since its inception thanks in part to David's leadership guidance paired with new innovations to the product line. Since starting this company with just one product line, it's gone from strength-to-strength providing award winning American made products for everyone that needs them--we take pride knowing how many lives have been changed by what was once considered a simple household item. At High Sierra®, we believe in ensuring the highest level of customer service and professionalism. We invite you to meet our dedicated team, who are committed to our customer's satisfaction.
They don't call him Nozzle Guy for nothing. Born in the San Gabriel Valley east of LA, David spent most of his boyhood in Fresno, California, learning the "ropes" from his dad, entrepreneur and water efficiency design engineer, Richard Malcolm. He was just seven years old when his father left his job at Rain Bird, the leading global manufacturer and provider of sprinkler irrigation products, to launch his own sprinkler manufacturing businesses in the Fresno, CA area including Full Coverage Irrigation (FCI), a water and energy conservation irrigation nozzle manufacturer. David stepped up to lead the family business after his father's death in 1992. One great day, while working at FCI, he had an epiphany – the catalyst for High Sierra Showerhead's breakthrough patented technology. For thousands of years showers had basically used the same design. In that moment, David imagined a better shower and shower technology, as we knew it, took a great leap forward. When he's not at work, David enjoys re-imagining and expanding his mountaintop home overlooking the Central Valley of California to make room for his ever-growing family of 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, and 7 grandkids.
Lita Malcolm Co-Founder & Head of Operations
Together with David, Lita started High Sierra Showerheads® from scratch with no capital, only creativity, persistence, and a clear vision. Through hard work, innovation, and a growth-driven mindset, they transformed a simple idea into a premium, award-winning brand. Lita was raised on a large rice-growing estate in Northern Peru. As the middle daughter in a family of 13 children, she learned the value and necessity of hard work from an early age. At 16, she moved to Lima to pursue better opportunities, where she later met and married David Malcolm. Lita treasures her role as a proud mother to her only son. Today, Lita leads operations with precision and passion, ensuring that every product reflects exceptional quality, elegant design, and innovative performance.
Aron Roberts Marketing and Business Development, Social Media Maven
Aron grew up in Southern California in a small, semi-rural town in Ventura County. He headed north in his youth to study at UC Santa Cruz then earned his Masters in Library and Information Studies from UC Berkeley. Aron decided to make the San Francisco Bay Area his home. He worked for over 31 years at UC Berkeley, his alma mater, in a variety of information technology positions. His responsibilities included developing and documenting collections management software used by museums, working with researchers using Savio, the campus's high-performance computing cluster and other geeked-out fun. Aron's primary role with High Sierra Showerheads is helping the world find out about our company and its products. He has proven to possess a knack for reaching out to journalists, prospective customers or potential partners, and he is our all-time favorite Twitterati. Some of his favorite things are reading and walking or hiking (not at the same time), in and around the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, which he enjoys thoroughly.
