Our leadership team includes:
David Dolezal - Founder and Chairman
David Dolezal, inventor with a passion for driving innovation that benefits people, began his career in civil engineering. His path led ultimately to ownership and management of an award-winning construction company in Minneapolis, Minnesota, his native state.
Mr. Dolezal’s career took a major turn when he recognized an urgent health deficiency in the building and development industries. With construction sites rife with pollutants and toxins, filtration masks were not effective, and were often left unused due to discomfort and hindrance.
Wanting to solve this problem for workers and the industry, Mr. Dolezal assembled a team of experts in science, medicine, business, engineering and marketing, to design a targeted, effective, comfortable and discreet personal filtration system with over 20 patents.
Further research with his invention revealed entirely new applications for his revolutionary nasal dilator/breathing aid. Mr. Dolezal found it to be effective in alleviating snoring, improving athletic performance, lessening allergy symptoms, and providing temporary relief of deviated septa. His determination in having his invention reach and help people led to the formation of AirWare™, Inc.
As Founder and Chairman of AirWare, a company of "caring experts" Mr. Dolezal continues his quest for solving people’s problems through quality, creativity, science and innovation.
Mr. Dolezal established AirWare in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he has lived since 2006. His personal interests are research and development, golf, horses, travel and self-education in a wide variety of subjects. He speaks Hebrew and is an intermediate student of Mandarin Chinese, which he is learning out of deep respect for his Chinese business colleagues.
