Over a span of more than two decades, Dave traveled the country as the Vice President of ICC offering technical advice on screen cleaning and processing methods, while developing several products still used in the industry today.

In 2013, Dave accepted the invitation to become the Vice President of Atlas Screen Supply, assisting in developing additional technical support and educational offerings to the textile decorating industry.
