I look forward to working with our customers and team members to deliver our intelligent critical communication solutions.”

We are confident that his leadership will strengthen our presence across the Southwest region and help us continue to deliver solutions that allow people to hear, be heard, and be understood, every time.”

David will be based in the Reno, Nevada area, as he returns to his roots in the region and continues his career in the security sector with Zenitel.
