David has been at the helm since inception, having founded Atlas Tech alongside Brian Miller.
He grew up the son of a U.S. Army Officer, spending his childhood in multiple states across the U.S. as well as a period in Germany prior to landing in D.C. He joined the U.S. Navy where he served for 6 years as a Data Systems Technician, achieving E-5 rank and was selected to teach Naval communications systems.
After leaving the Navy David joined SAIC, a contractor with whom he continued his Naval communications work. During this time David worked by day and attended school by night, earning an Associates in Electronics from Gavilan College followed by a degree in Computer Science from National University. He then transitioned to what is now Serco, where he began developing software and met Brian. The two decided to form their own company and though initially intent on creating a small niche company, soon realized the importance of growth to the critical work they could provide to the military.
While David officially left military service in 1986, he continues his family’s tradition of defending our nation through Atlas.
