Meet the Team

David Komatz comes from many years of entrepreneurship. Beginning his career with commercial real estate brokerage and development and then moving on to owning and managing several operating companies that spanned from manufacturing (Ceara Products, sold to Dexter-the oldest traded NYSE company), to fabrication (Curtis Fluid Power -sold to an employee) to Communications Product & Services (Sold to Genuine Parts, a US fortune 200 company). While remaining on as an employee of Genuine Parts after the sale I quickly realized the excitement of running a small company highly overshadowed the comfort of risk-free employment. When the opportunity came to join forces with YG Acoustics and purchase the company with a partner and I took over as CEO in 2017. After several years at the helm, the company hired Dr. Matthew Webster to be the head the product development aspect of the company. It was shortly realized that Dr. Webster offered much more to the company and was a perfect fit as an industry insider to lead the next level of the company’s growth. At the end of 2022, I stepped down from operations and function strictly as a co-owner of the company. Not wanting to retire any time soon, I endeavored to find my next challenge and ran across Enduring Images through a close friend. I am very excited at the opportunity to work with the team of Enduring Images to continue the growth and success of the company.

Patrick Hammond graduated from the Art Institute of Colorado with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and joined the Enduring Images team in the summer of 2011.
