David joined Excel Mechanical in 2013 as Service Manager, and was critical in allowing the company to begin its path to growth and success.

His dedication and skill and Excel’s execution has resulted in that customer expanding their business with Excel and still being a dedicated customer nearly 10 years later.

Prior to joining Excel Mechanical, David spent 5 years as the Service & Project Manager for Allender Electric’s total Facilities Maintenance contract for the Army Research Laboratory at Adelphi.

He was responsible for all staffing, scheduling, oversight, and site safety for this contract. He also acted as the main point of contact between his company and the client. When Allender’s owner decided to retire and close the
business, David made his transition to Excel. His great management of this account has been evident, as this client has transitioned to Excel following David.

A large portion of David’s career and his acquisition of knowledge and experience came from working at one of the largest and most successful mechanical contractors in the country, Poole & Kent.
