David Lopez, the founder of DL Metal Design, has been working in the steel industry since 1997. David started his steel career when his brother, a master welder, offered to employee him during his college breaks. He started as a beam line operator and quickly learned to weld, read blue prints, and eventually worked through each department of the company. By the time David was in his early 30's he had helped shape the team for an up and coming ornamental steel player in the New York market and was promoted to Chief Operating Officer. David has held executive positions for multiple companies and has managed teams for combined work exceeding 400 Million in Revenue. In 2015 David started DL Metal Design to serve the under represented high end ornamental design and engineering market. DL Metal Design is a turn key steel manufacturing company and is a proud MBE/DBE in PA, NY, NJ, DE, and VA. David spends a large majority of his free time coaching various sports, loves traveling with his wife and children, and holds a B.S. in Business Management from Northeastern University.
