President of ARK Property Management

Dave has always been an entrepreneur, starting his small construction company in 1993 after completing his basic Air Force training and serving in the Air National Guard in Middletown. In 1998, after much research and studying markets, he began real estate investing in York, buying his first 4 properties, which he rehabilitated himself and kept as rentals. Over the next 10 years, he grew his property portfolio, completed flips, and managed the units. However, his construction company grew, along with his portfolio, and the need to hire a good property management company to manage residents, keep up with ever-changing laws, and maintain astute bookkeeping became paramount. Enlisting his properties with what eventually became Green City Property Management LLC was one of his best decisions. After experiencing the confidence in knowing that his properties were being managed well, he was now free to seek new investments and help others to do the same. When, in 2023, Green City Properties approached him with the idea of acquiring the company, Dave saw the perfect opportunity to combine the skills of his construction company with the knowledge of the property management company to help others to delve into the real estate investment world, acquire their properties, help them rehabilitate them to maximize their potential and to keep them long into their retirement. This was the birth of ARK Property Management and Sales.
