David takes a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to firm leadership and project delivery.

David has years of professional leadership and business development experience at ISG, where his career path has led him from civil engineering intern to president. He now supports ISG’s expedited growth by guiding operations, driving profitability, and leading a multi-disciplinary team through effective project delivery.

A bit of a maverick, David has a non-traditional leadership approach that has helped him earn the respect of ISG employee owners and clients. Understanding that it’s important to meet clients where they are, he facilitates strategic acquisitions and geographic expansions that allow ISG to provide valuable and high-quality services. David keeps ISG’s clients at the forefront and isn’t afraid to get a little dirt on his boots along the way.
