David joined the Portland Bolt Team with the acquisition of Southern Anchor Bolt in June of 2024.

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. They live in North Augusta, South Carolina.  In their free time, they enjoy ripping up the trails and tracks on their dirt bikes, going for mountain bike rides on the local trails, swimming, or just hanging out at home, cooking, or watching a movie together.
