A third-generation leader in the family demolition and scrap business, David brings more than four decades of executive experience to BERG Brownfields. Over a 40-year career, he guided the growth of The Berg Corporation from a local subcontractor into a nationally recognized platform in demolition and environmental remediation.


In the late 2000s, David expanded his focus into real estate development, applying a disciplined, numbers-driven approach to identify opportunities with outsized risk-adjusted returns—often in complex or environmentally challenged assets overlooked by traditional developers.


David holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Maryland and is a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Maryland.
