------------------------------------------------------------
David is an operations manager at the privately owned defense contracting firm ManTech International. Before transitioning to the private sector, he was a naval officer who operated globally for ten years.
David is a seasoned professional with a diverse leadership, education, and operational background in the public and private sectors. As a project manager within the Navy, he led small and medium-sized teams in industrial and engineering contexts, fostering their ability to thrive in diverse and challenging environments.
A subsequent role as an ROTC Instructor at the University of Michigan allowed him to combine his passion for teaching navigation with pursuing an MBA, further refining his analytical and management skills.
He has trained, coached, and mentored naval officers at his different military assignments and led the ship navigation course for new officers at the Mariner Skills Training Center. This role allowed him to give back to the Navy by preparing the next generation of officers for global deployment and ensuring they were ready to face any challenge that came their way.
David currently manages West Coast operations on a large defense contract and leads multiple projects across various functional areas, covering building, designing, and installing. As an operations manager, he is responsible for client interface, procurement, recruiting, hiring, business development, and financial analysis.
