Born and raised in Jacksonville, florida, Donna got her start in the lighting business by managing the service department at United Electric.  Since taking over the day-to-day operations at DTL in 1993, she has effectively managed the steady growth of the company and the advent of BulbTown.  In addition to putting David through college, Donna counts her life's achievements as having two healthy children, traveling the world and enjoys playing the piano.

 

 

Also from Jacksonville, Florida, David got his start in the electrical business working summers with his father doing electrical work in residential and commercial construction.  During his senior year in high school and his freshman year in college, David worked for United Artists Theatre Circuit.  It was during this time David learned the ins and outs of the theatre business first hand.  David thought it would be a great idea to sell theatres light bulbs that didn't burn out as often, since it was he who had to change them.

 

After graduating from college in 1991, David did a short stint selling light fixtures before starting David Tyson Lighting in 1993 to promote long-life bulbs to the theatre industry.

 

As well as being the proud father of two, David enjoys reading, numismatics, is a published author and plays the accordion.
