Meet Our Founder

Dave Misch brings nearly 40 years of commercial banking and executive leadership experience to Full Sail, where he helps business owners and institutions navigate strategy, transition, and growth with clarity and purpose. Over his career, he’s served clients ranging from McDonald’s franchisees to real estate developers to Fortune 500 companies—most often focusing on small to mid-sized, privately held businesses facing real-world challenges. He’s held senior roles in risk management, strategic planning, and M&A, and served as CEO of four community banks.

What sets Dave apart is not just his experience, but the foundation he builds on. A lifelong Catholic, Dave has long believed that faith and business shouldn’t live in separate silos. His consulting work is deeply informed by Catholic values and a commitment to integrity, service, and meaningful impact. He has served in parish ministries in both Pennsylvania and California, held leadership roles with Catholic foundations, and served as CFO of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. He currently teaches at Franciscan University of Steubenville and is passionate about helping others live—and lead—with faith at the center.
