About F. David Williams

He has been in your shoes! F.D. (Dave) Williams has been in business one way or another for almost 60 years beginning with a paper route at age 10. His business journey and entrepreneurial spirit have led him through a wide variety of experiences, including sales and marketing roles in small family owned and large closely held corporations, as well as independent contractor in insurance and investments. A wealth of experiences came from roles as founder, owner, partner and CEO/President of a growth-oriented business for 28 years. Most recently, he was the M&A originator of his business and subsequent senior partner of the acquiring firm. Along the way, Williams learned valuable lessons about organization development, human resources, buy-sell agreements, ESOPs, qualified and non-qualified retirement and deferred-compensation plans, phantom stock options, business continuation succession plans, and exit strategies.
