After over 31 years with Napco Security Technologies, as Western vice president, and later, senior regional vice president of sales, for all the Napco RSMs across North America, Dave Sheffey will be retiring, having handed over the reigns and team to Michael Venoit, vice president, earlier this year. According to the announcement, Sheffey has long been a key part of Napco Security sales management, an accomplished leader, industry icon and driver of Napco security sales and distribution channels.

The company stated, “Anyone who knows Dave, as most in the industry do, recognize the amiable, modest, super-intelligent guy who is comfortable speaking to virtually everyone, and always knows how to get things done and with whom. Never one to shrink away from a challenge, Dave is extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in all aspects of technology, applications, and product (as well as science, astronomy, and fine art, too). Dave’s extensive security experience and industry knowledge have served him, his accounts, and NAPCO well. But two of Dave’s idiomatic phrases, sum up much of what may be his work philosophy, ‘I have a curiosity,’ and on the flip- side, ‘Don’t poke a sleeping bear.’ For those of us who know Dave, the neat part is, he seemingly always knows which to apply and when.”

The statement continued, “After decades of traveling across the United States and Canada, representing Napco, attending countless tradeshows and events, and visiting and supporting security professionals and distributors all along the way, Shelley is going to sail off (well, motor off) into the sunset of the Great Lakes on his boat, at least for a little while. Bon Voyage, Dave. You deserve the best- Enjoy retirement with your lovely wife, Beth and the cats.”

Stephen Spinelli, senior vice president, sales, NAPCO Security Technologies Inc, added, “On behalf of all of us at NAPCO, it’s been our pleasure to work with you.”
