About David Weise

Over my sales, marketing, and business development career, I have thoroughly enjoyed researching and developing new business opportunities for industrial products. My consultative, solution-oriented sales approach has helped me develop strong partnerships with many new OEM and MRO customers, resulting in sales growth even in more mature marketplaces. I am also a PADI certified scuba diving instructor. As such, I not only get to enjoy being underwater myself many summer weekends in Wisconsin, but I get to help open new experiences to my students – from an introductory class to advanced skills development.
