Dave Speer, Vice President of Business Development, Co-founder

Dave spends his time concentrating on the bigger picture, the future of the company’s development. He pays attention to the balance in the company, culture, and growth, keeping everyone on task and moving forward.

What does he love about lighting? Copious job opportunities! Dave remembers: as a young college student, I was a structural engineering major. I took Dr. Ron Helms Illumination 1 class as an elective. About a week into the class Dr. Helms asked my major, then he made a sly remark about how every engineering program in the nation graduates structural people, but only two produced illumination graduates. “Every one of my students has multiple job offers” he said with his signature “touché” grin. I changed my major the following week.

Dave’s passions are: powder days, bustin’ a lung on a long climb, carving canyons on the Duc, the whine of a flat-6 at 7 grand, hot desert nights, crisp mountain mornings, wineries, cold IPA, family, freedom and the U.S.A. , (not necessarily in that order but powder days are almost always first!)
