This week, I am excited to share my interview with David May. David is the owner of Trinity Aero, an aerospace manufacturing firm located in Wichita, KS. David purchased the business just over a year ago, in May 2014 and just celebrated his first year of ownership. The year has been a series of ups and downs for David, but his drive and excitement for his company show in the amazing results they have posted over the last 12 months.
A few highlights from David’s interview:
He left a highly successful career in aerospace to venture out on his own into the world of entrepreneurship because he wanted to have more control over his work and his business. But he didn’t jump in blindly. He took his time, asked a lot of questions and found a company that was in a position to be sold and he jumped on it.
David’s team is his number one priority, and running a people-focused business is key to his success. Happy, engaged employees do phenomenal work and take care of their customers. This is one of David’s biggest takeaways- if you take care of your people, they will take care of your business.
David is a man of great faith and he does not shy away from the fact that he runs his business as a Christian. In fact, it’s posted right on the wall in his office. Very few people are as willing to wear their faith on their sleeves as David is, but it serves to fulfill him and makes it clear to those around him what his priorities are.
You can check out David’s team at their website, www.trinityaero.net, on their Facebook page by going to Facebook.com and searching for Trinity Aero, or their LinkedIn page by going to LinkedIn.com and searching for Trinity Aero.
