He started in 2005 after his Family acquired Southern Anchor Bolt, then became a partial Owner and Vice President 9 years later.

He grew up in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, with plans to become a machinist like his father.  During High School, he attended a Vocational Tech School and worked at a local machine shop, where he operated various machines, including mills, Lathes, Surface Grinders, Plunge Cutters, and Wire EDMs, as part of his co-op experience.  In 2005, during year 2 of his Journeymen process, those plans changed, and he moved south to Harlem, GA, for a business opportunity with his family.

David and his wife, Brittany, met in 2012 and have two children together.
