Welcome Wagon

We are excited to welcome a new member to the Elad Team! Dave Dawson has joined us and will be working with our GSA and Government Contracts. We are very excited to have Dave and all his knowledge working with us. Government sales is something Elad has never done before, so we have high hopes for this department. Dave has so many talents and skills, if you don’t believe me just read below!

He has a doctorate in management, specializing in Information Systems Technology. He is currently waiting on the University of Phoenix Academic Review Board approval of my dissertation – the last hurdle before he can officially use his title – Dr.

Other education includes an MBA from the University of Phoenix (attended the resident course in Louisville) and my undergraduate BS in Computer Information Systems from McKendree University. He is an Adjunct Professor for Sullivan University and teach Business Organization and Management, Business Law, and Math. He is married to Barbra and lives in Elizabethtown and together they have 9 children, and 7 grand children. The oldest son, David III is an Apache Attack Helicopter pilot for the US Army, a son who is in his junior year at the University of Louisville, a daughter who is a senior at Western Kentucky, a daughter who is a sophomore at Bellermine University, a daughter who is in the nursing program at ECTC, and a daughter who is a senior at North Hardin High School. They also have a son who is a Freshman at Central Hardin and a son who is in the 8th grade at West Hardin Middle School. Barbra owns and operates Fergus Mor, a deli/pizzeria in the Food Court of the Towne Mall.

He has been a leader in government contracting business since he retired from the Army in 2001 and have won several prominent contract awards for companies doing business with the US Army at Fort Knox. He is a GSA contract expert in acquiring, managing, marketing, and training. He has done all aspects of GSA and government sales including acquisition, marketing, and compliance. And also a technology geek with the heart of a serial entrepreneur. Always searching for innovation.

  Thank you for the warm welcome. I am excited to help guide Elad through the process of obtaining a GSA contract and doing business with the largest buyer of IT products and services in the world – the US Government. Getting a GSA Contract is a long and arduous journey that may take several months, but once obtained the contract is good for 20 years. I am looking forward to meeting everyone, getting to know the company, and working to increase Elad’s market share.
