Dave Swanwick was born and raised in Manhattan and attended the University of Vermont where he received a degree in Political Science and a minor in French.

Upon founding MSI, Dave initially focused on business development via his industry connections as a US and World Extreme Skiing Champion. His experience as a professional athlete and a professional heli-ski guide has brought an invaluable perspective to MSI’s event production. As the company grew Dave focused his energies on the operations side of the company overseeing or managing the production teams on virtually every MSI project, providing him a wealth of knowledge into many events, formats and client strategies.

Over the past several years, MSI has created a strong team of project managers who manage their respective teams, allowing Dave the time to focus on new projects and oversee their specific teams, as was the case with the Honda Ski Tour and the Red Bull Soapbox Races.  For the Red Bull Air Race, Dave will be able to dedicate his time managing and directing the MSI team to ensure the success of this project.
