  David Swindle

  Director of Education, Training & Field Services, ISSA

  David Swindle has been in the cleaning industry for close to 30 years. He began his career by working as a janitor for a vending machine company. By his early twenties, he had transitioned into sales of cleaning supplies for a local janitorial supply company. During his career, David has worked for distributors, manufacturers, and service providers. This has given him a remarkably diverse and broad understanding of the industry.

  In recent years, David began teaching custodial classes through an adult education program at Elk Grove Unified School District. He has found his passion in sharing his knowledge and experience with others through teaching. When he started out in the cleaning industry, it was not something that he imagined would become a career. However, David quickly learned that he enjoyed cleaning and was good at it. He made it his goal in life to learn everything about the cleaning profession. That involved taking every class available, attending workshops, reading books from people like Bill Griffin, working with those who were experts, and immersing himself in the business of cleaning. Now, over 30 years later, David still loves to learn all he can about the industry and to share what he knows with others.

  David is a certified technical education teacher in the State of California. He owns his own consulting company working with organizations to implement ISSA cleaning standards and CMI training. He is also partners in a cleaning service in Northern California that focuses on cleaning and disinfecting services. He recently became a CMI Master Trainer and is conducting CMI certification workshops. It is his career goal to create a Career Technical Education pathway for young people helping them to see the value of a career in the cleaning industry.
