Dave Sampson, Rabican Companies' founder and president, has been at the helm of the company since its inception in 1976. At the very beginning, Dave quickly recognized the need that small to mid-size business owners had for professional investment banking representation and the shortage of companies that provided such services. Since then, Dave has focused his professional life on meeting that need through a balanced, objective, and personal approach. Dave has experience within a diverse range of industries, both from his work with Rabican and through the more than twenty-five companies that he has owned throughout his career. This unique blend of ownership and advisory experience has allowed Rabican to effectively service its clients with a true appreciation of and respect for the dynamics of private ownership.
