As VP of Operations, Dave is actively involved in the day-to-day performance of the company where he oversees property development projects from beginning through completion. He looks for new opportunities and seeks properties in which to invest and develop; actively seeks tenants and negotiates lease deals; and manages relationships between all parties involved, including local township supervisors, county commissioners, state governmental agencies, engineers, attorneys, and tenants.

Responsible for daily operations management and leasing, Dave takes pride in establishing close working relationships with his tenants. He maintains a business-friendly atmosphere by creating a complimentary mix of tenants at each location and strives for long-term occupancy rates, resulting in a mutually successful operation for tenant and owner. Completely, hands-on, Dave will change a light bulb, fix the plumbing or put out fires whenever necessary.

In 2006, he made the decision to devote his energy full-time to Kings’ growing real estate company and achieve a better family/work life balance. Dave’s principles of preparedness and experience as an airline captain translate to the real estate business. Just as airline passengers placed their confidence in his knowledge and decision-making, stakeholders are can be assured in his ability to meet the highest level of expectations.
