David has been involved in the classic car industry since the early 90s, but he has always been passionate about cars since he was a child. He purchased his first car at the age of 13 using the money he earned from cutting grass. After returning home from Desert Storm, he took a job at Bluegrass Classics, where his journey truly began. However, he realized that his vision for the company did not align with the owner's, so he decided to start his own venture. In 1999, he founded Southern Kentucky Classics. During a trip to Taiwan in 2005, he met a Taiwanese businessman, which led to the founding of Woodall Industries. In 2021, he sold both companies to Holley Carburetor. After being away from the industry for some time and feeling like he still had more to offer, he spotted an opportunity when he came across the Jones family business. This inspired him to reach out to the talented Jones brothers. After a brief meeting, they made a plan, and that's how Repliclassics was born.
