Meet the Team
Dave Ball
Chief Executive Officer
After 14 years in construction and 4 years in wealth management, Dave discovered a way to merge these two disciplines in order to provide the solution for building owners and asset managers for the benefit of all mankind without hurting the bottom line. He found that previous attempts by different organizations to inspire ownership groups and asset managers to spend capital to "improve the planet" with no financial benefit has had little to no success. By offering the feel-good sentiment of helping the planet along with the financial benefit of lower costs, ownership groups and asset managers are much more apt to make the eco-conscious jump.
​
Dave is a third-generation contractor and has over $40M in commercial construction projects under his belt. After founding his first business, he won the Eagle Award from the Florida Home Builders Association. Soon after, he was third in charge of a $125M commercial construction company where he sold, produced, and managed approximately $40M in revenue and teams of up to 150 people over a three-year period.

"It's more than just changing lightbulbs."
Advisory Board Members
A Response from the CEO
A wise leader surrounds themselves with trusted advisors. Those who can provide insight, feedback, and help navigate challenges as the company grows and expands into unchartered territory. The CEO BigFoot Reduction, Inc., Dave Ball, has only one vision in mind for members of his advisory board.
​
"The right person with the right mindset, who brings something different to the table, regardless of how they look or where they come from. If I bring on ten more people who look, talk, and act like me, then I will never create a culture where employees share their life story, through their professional works and that, my friend, is just a waste of a rare opportunity to touch people's lives in a positive way.
Everyone wants to be the hero of their own story, sometimes they just need a guide. If I as the CEO of the company, can't create a place where people have an opportunity to be the hero of their own story, then why am I in a position of leadership at all? I hand selected these advisors with one mission in mind: to create a business where people have an opportunity to be their own hero and that starts with the old adage, leaders lead from the front. If we want truly remarkable people who bring their unique perspective and quality to the company, then we have to have truly remarkable people starting from the top down that reflect that."
