President and CEO

David was born and raised in West Plains, Missouri, graduating from West Plains High School in 1967. He then attended Missouri State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. Following his graduation from college, David worked for Venture Stores in Springfield and then moved back to West Plains to work as an accountant for Paul Schwegman, CPA. In 1977, David made a career move that would ultimately determine the course of his professional life - he took a position with Southern Missouri Oil Company/Energy Sales as General Manager. After four years, David was able to purchase the company's assets, marketing and transportation operations. He renamed the new company Coastal Energy, and the rest, as they say, is history. 

David and his wife, Brenda, relocated to Willow Springs along with the company in 1987. They have one son, Erik and his wife Katie, along with two granddaughters. In his free time, David loves being outside and working with the cows and horses on his farm.

Erik and his wife, Katie, make their home on the family farm outside Willow Springs. Katie is also a native of Willow Springs, and the couple's two daughters currently attend school there. When Erik isn't at work, he enjoys spending time outside working around the house and farm. He also collects classic cars and baseball memorabilia to balance out all the pink, glittery things that come with living in a house full of three women!
