Meet David Benton
A bit of a wandering bohemian, I was born in Washington State, the oldest of 11 children, raised in Wisconsin, college in California, (Go Bears) (Go Aggies), moved overseas to Italy, did some time in Thailand, some more in California, back to Wisconsin and eventually landed here in North Carolina. Hence the quote…“it is not the age…it’s the mileage.”
After a number of years as an Air Traffic controller, (not the best use of my education) I ventured off into the entrepreneurial world of startup companies beginning with a small aircraft company and ending up in several internet ventures building a strong resume in the IT industry. With a passion for taking a concept to a viable profit model, I can’t imagine doing anything else.
My wife and I love to travel and when not on the road, you will be able to find us spending time with our 4 children and 8 grandchildren spread pretty much all over the Mid-West. With the little time left over, we try to get in some golf, travel and just enjoying those around us.
For Atlantic BT
I have been working for Atlantic BT since Nov 2008 as a Senior Technical Project Manager. I handle most of the large projects that are technical in nature and require a team of programmers. Prior to my position at Atlantic BT, I was the Chief Technical Officer for Business Leader Media in Raleigh, NC for 2 years. I am excited to be able to bring my experience to Atlantic BT and help those companies that we work with here on a daily basis.
