Junior Achievement | JA Fellows Business Incubator Introduction
JA Fellows Business Incubator is the “Go To” learn-by-doing entrepreneurial and business experience for middle and high school students.
Students gain real-world business experience by working in groups of 20-25, conceptualizing, capitalizing, and managing their own small businesses. Throughout this real-life entrepreneurship experience, students develop communication, financial management, problem-solving, collaboration and time management skills, just to name a few. Mentors work in teams of 4-6, coaching students through the process of starting and running a small business. “Spark Tank” competitions (Shark Tank-like events) are judged by local business leaders.

Recipe for Success with Guest David Kunik, Comerica Bank
Just as there are no two recipes that contain the exact same ingredients or measurements, there are no two success stories exactly the same. Recipe For Success features entrepreneurs, visionary leaders and innovators of all ages who will share their ingredients that make them successful – personally and professionally.
Let's get cooking! Comerica Incorporated announced today that David Kunik has been selected to lead its Florida Market, replacing Patty Nobles who will retire at the end of February after a 33-year tenure at Comerica.
As Retail District Manager and Florida Market President, Kunik will continue to oversee all Florida retail banking centers, while expanding his role to include business and community development efforts for all lines of business within the region.
“We are fortunate to have a proven leader already in market to succeed Patty,” said Texas Market President Brian Foley. “David’s diverse background in the financial services industry will be an asset in directing continued growth in Florida for Comerica.”
Kunik joined Comerica Bank in 2013 as the Florida Retail District Manager. Prior to Comerica, David’s extensive career in banking included roles in wealth management, commercial banking, human resources, and training and development.
An active member of the community, Kunik, has volunteered with several South Florida nonprofits including Junior Achievement, Boys and Girls Clubs, and SCORE. He also has served as the United Way campaign chair for the bank’s Florida footprint for the past several years.
Kunik earned a bachelor’s degree in Business from the University of Iowa.
