 David Raminfard has spent more than eight years as president and chief executive officer of New Point Fabric and KasLen Textiles, both in Vernon, California. When he is not managing his executive responsibilities or sourcing new fabrics from international and domestic trade shows, David Raminfard stays active by hiking at Temescal Canyon Park.
Temescal Canyon Park provides hikers with an array of options, including the popular Temescal Canyon Loop. The 3.1-mile loop is ideal for novice hikers or groups looking for a leisurely, scenic trail. Beginning at 15601 Sunset Boulevard, Pacific Palisades, in Temescal Gateway Park, the loop begins on the twisting Temescal Ridge Trail as it ascends the canyon. As the trail progresses, individuals can enjoy scenic vistas overlooking the surrounding canyon and, later, the nearby coastline. Near the 1.5 mile mark, hikers can join with the Temescal Canyon Trail and start their return trip as they descend back into the canyon. The Temescal Canyon trail often resembles a tunnel made of trees and foliage and features a bridge passing a picturesque waterfall. The final mile consists of a gentle slope below the tree line back to the trailhead. The trail is typically completed in about one hour.

As the president of KasLen Textiles, David Raminfard meets the needs of diverse manufacturers, upholsterers, and retailers, focusing on the international sourcing and distribution of fabrics. David Raminfard is a longtime member of the Nessah Cultural and Educational Center and contributes time and money to the nonprofit, which is affiliated with a Southern California Persian Jewish congregation.
In 2015, the synagogue partnered with the iCare Foundation for Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom HaShoah, marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of thousands of people from concentration camps across Europe. Attended by members of the Synagogue and the local community, the event focused on Jewish identity among the younger generation. The hugely successful event had a vital message amid a backdrop of a dwindling number of Holocaust survivors. Their passing leaves future generations in danger of forgetting the tragedies the Jewish people have endured. With fewer survivors and more "deniers” in existence, the gathered Holocaust survivors provided an important eyewitness account of one of the most traumatic events in human history. One attendee described the event as being valuable for revealing just how much she took for granted in her daily life. A survivor in attendance had a core message to share with the audience, that people should not look at her with sorrow or pity, but rather “realize how beautiful life is” and that tragedy shouldn't prevent you from enjoying life.  David Raminfard is a Vernon, California, entrepreneur who has established numerous textile distribution companies over the course of his career. Outside of leading Kaslen Textiles and New Point Fabric as CEO, David Raminfard is an avid traveler. He has had the opportunity to explore locations throughout Europe and Asia, including Hong Kong.
One of Hong Kong Island’s iconic sites, Victoria Peak, has an altitude of 1,811 feet and offers the best all-around view of Victoria Harbor, Kowloon, and the island itself. Accessible via a 120-year-old funicular tram, the viewpoint is best accessed just before sunset, when the scene shifts to one of sheer brilliance as the lights of thousands of high-rises take form against the skyline. The current tourist focus of Victoria Peak belies a history of exclusivity: the area was reserved for European expatriates from the time Hong Kong became a British colony in 1841 until 1947. To this day, the peak contains some of the most luxurious neighborhoods in Hong Kong and is a sought-after residential location for those seeking respite from the urban grid. |
