DAVID PROFITT

Rock and roll, baby. That’s how David got his start — and he’ll say it with a grin every time. For nine years he toured the world as a Front of House audio engineer, working alongside legends like Ozzy Osbourne, ZZ Top, Korn, and Matisyahu. The pace was relentless — at one point he circumnavigated the entire planet on a single two-week run: Singapore to Dubai to London to Dublin to New York to Houston. “Brutal!” he says, laughing. Those years on stage gave him something most engineers only read about: a deep, instinctive feel for how sound moves through a space and how to make an audience feel it.

When the touring era wound down, David went deeper into the industry — growing from technician to programmer to design engineer working for projects that went across more than 30 countries and every U.S. state except Alaska. That breadth is what makes him a rare kind of Account Executive today. Where most AEs sell solutions, David designs an experience, fluent in both the client’s vision and the technical reality behind it. He covers the full spectrum — control systems, unified communications, networking, automation, LED video walls, auditorium sound, and more. In the industry, they’d call someone like David a unicorn.

What drives David most is finding each client’s “wow moment.” One that stays with him happened at a local church, where a pastor had been battling microphone feedback for years. David solved it. “His eyes nearly popped out of his head,” he recalls. “His appreciation almost brought tears to my eyes.” No grand reveal — just a real problem solved and a person genuinely helped. That’s the work that matters to him. That commitment is backed by an extensive list of industry certifications — CTS-I, Crestron Programming, multiple DSP certifications, QSC, Samsung, Dante Level II, and more. But David sees those credentials less as achievements and more as tools. “I strive to function as a guide and translator for my clients,” he explains, “to help them achieve their technology goals.”

Away from work, David is a U.S. Air Force veteran and trained linguist (the service taught him Spanish). He played competitive soccer for over 30 years. Ask him what superpower he’d want for this role and the answer is instant: supersonic flight — “so I could show up at their doorstep instantly in their time of need.” On quieter days you’ll find him on the golf course, or admiring his dream garage he has worked hard for: a Porsche Panamera, an electric Mustang, and a 1978 El Camino SS. On the bookshelf he recommends The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto — a meditation on how intention shapes the world around us. After years on the road and across the globe, David has found something rare at Texadia Systems: a company that genuinely invests in its people for the benefit of its clients. He shows up every day guided by a mantra from George Santayana, later echoed by Winston Churchill: “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” For David, it’s a reminder to keep learning, keep evolving, and keep finding new ways to make technology work for the people behind it better.
