David Conkle is the Founder and President of ViewPoint Systems. Mr. Conkle started ViewPoint in 2011 when he identified a growing need for a line of ruggedized monitors that were simple to operate, easy to install, reliable, and could be manufactured at a lower cost than options currently available in the market.

Mr. Conkle has over 20 years of experience in engineering and electronics manufacturing. He graduated from Sewanee University with a degree in physics, and started his career by serving his country and joining the U.S. Navy as an officer in the nuclear submarine program. Mr. Conkle was stationed on the USS Florida SSBN 728 for three years and left the Navy honorably after receiving his Naval Nuclear Engineering Certification.

He then went to work for IBM as a quality engineer and, during his third year, assumed a management position over a team of quality engineers. He left IBM in 2000 to pursue a Master in Business Administration and Master in Information Management degree from Arizona State University. After graduating, he went to work for Jabil Circuit, a large electronic contract manufacturer.

During his time at Jabil, Mr. Conkle designed a global supply chain software application and managed a $100M customer account in Eastern Europe. He left Jabil in 2007 and went to work for a rugged display manufacturer where he served as the Director of Operations before founding ViewPoint Systems. Mr. Conkle enjoys hiking, boating, travelling and triathlons.
