David Zanca
For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients at Blanchard and Company protect, preserve, and grow their wealth through precious metals and rare coins. Over that time, I’ve worked with a wide range of individuals — from ultra-high-net-worth clients to first-time investors — always with the same goal: to provide thoughtful, personalized guidance that stands the test of time.
My parents taught me to live a life within my means, hold very little debt, and to invest in tangible items, which naturally led me to the world of hard assets and rare coins. I have a particular appreciation for U.S. gold and silver coins minted from 1793 to 1813 — the very first coins of the United States. These pieces embody the beginnings of our nation’s story, both economically and symbolically, and they continue to inspire my work today.
I hold a B.S. in Psychology from Millsaps College, a J.D. from the University of Mississippi School of Law, and an M.A. in Faith and Culture from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. I’m currently pursuing an additional M.A. in John Paul II Studies from the same university. Beyond Blanchard, I’ve also served as an expert consultant for Guidepoint, AlphaSights, and Third Bridge, sharing insights on the global precious metals and rare coin markets.
In today’s environment of excessive money printing and political uncertainty, I believe physical gold and precious metals are essential to any well-balanced portfolio. They provide not just protection, but peace of mind — something every family deserves.
A lifelong New Orleans Saints fan, I’m proud to call this city home. After three decades with Blanchard, I remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to guide clients in building lasting legacies rooted in real value.
