When talent, great attitude, and love of community meet hard work, great things happen. I see that every day in my role as CEO of three productive teams! My 30+ year career in law enforcement started in the United States Coast Guard, where I served more than 20 years and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. My work continued as an Oklahoma City Police Officer, where I served for almost 20 years and attained the rank of Master Sergeant. In 2010, I started David Roberts Consulting, LLC, offering security guard services to businesses, events, and mental health facilities. That business operates today at DR Security, employing a great team of officers and guards who care about the people they protect. In 2021, I partnered with the state to begin Oklahoma Ride Care, an alternative solution to transporting clients needing psychiatric help to care facilities. This role had always been carried out by members of law enforcement. Privatizing transport not only decriminalizes mental health but also serves the client in a more person-centric and timely way. Oklahoma is currently the only state that makes this form of transportation available to all clients, and I’m thrilled to be at the forefront of this movement. In 2023, I opened Bison RV & Auto. A small repair shop, we provide quality service on RV’s (and maintenance on our growing fleet of vehicles).
