Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Please join IEC (International Electronic Components) in congratulating Dave Brooks on 25 years of service and camaraderie. As one of the original members of the IEC USA team, Dave is a valuable contributor to IEC's continued success. 

When asked about his experience at IEC, Dave says, "In the 25 years IEC USA has been in business, our goal has always been to ensure our customers are taken care of. If the customer needs assistance with anything, even if it's not IEC's responsibility, we are willing to roll up our sleeves and fix the problem. Our customers are our #1 priority!" 

Dave was born in San Diego, California, and moved to Everett, Washington, where he had lived most of his life. Dave began his career in electronics at Fluke Corporation, a captive circuit board shop, allowing him to learn quickly the intricacies of every step of circuit board manufacturing. He started there as a plater and promptly moved up to Lead Production Supervisor. 

Dave began his career with IEC on February 1, 1999, when Shawn Stone and Chuck Williams were just starting IEC USA. They asked him to join them in getting the company off to a strong start. He has been a valuable team member ever since. 

Shawn Stone, President of IEC, states, “Dave is a member of the IEC USA Legacy Team. It has been our good fortune that he has been with us since its infancy—almost from the word go! He has brought a wealth of practical industry knowledge and understanding to the marketplace that just can’t be achieved without firsthand experience in the PCB Industry; we’re so grateful he’s been on every step of our USA journey.” 

Chuck Williams, Partner and General Manager of IEC USA, says, "One of the founding members of IEC USA—employee number 2. I first met Dave in the Pacific Northwest at Fluke Corporation and then worked with him at Circuit Technology, which became Praegitzer Redmond. We were lucky to convince Dave to join IEC, initially covering the Northwest and eventually relocating to Northern California. Dave always puts his customers first: delivery, quality, and economics. It is natural for him to roll up his sleeves and work side-by-side with his customers. We are lucky to have him at IEC for the past quarter century; I am luckier still to count him among my friends now and for years to come." 

Once again, please join us in congratulating IEC USA Legacy team member Dave Brooks on his 25 years of service at IEC!
