He purchased the company in June of 2007 and built and executed a strategy that has produced exceptional results for both the customer base and the organization with twelve consecutive years of growth.

In August of 2019, he sold his business to Allied Universal Technologies from Irvine, California.  Allied Universal Technologies is the largest security company in the world and has over $18 billion in sales with approximately 800,000 employees (the 7^th largest employer in the world).

David’s greatest strengths are culture development, team building with alignment of goals, and leadership. He thrives on challenges, particularly those that expand the company’s reach that are consistent with the companies’ values of integrity, innovation, and impact.

Prior to purchasing Midstate Security Company, David held executive and/or strategic roles with companies such as Turnstone (a division of Steelcase), Gill Industries, Porter Hills Village, S2 Yachts, Advanced Packaging, and Great Lakes Computer. He started his career at the public accounting firm of Ernst & Young.

In his free time, David is an avid runner, completing numerous road races including nineteen marathons; one of which was across the Grand Canyon (including an ultra-marathon by accident because he lost count of the miles).
