David Akers
President & CEO

David has been with ML Sound for 27 years, guiding the company from a small local reinforcement sound company to a nationally recognized live audio service company and audio-visual integrator. David started as a performer and migrated into production support in the late 1980’s after being sought after to offer his expertise and work ethic to various artists and promoters throughout the Southeast.

In the early 1990’s, David began working with houses of worship to help them obtain a more professional sound and focused path to deliver their messages by beginning the AV Integration department at M&L.

In his spare time David enjoys playing music and sports. David is the father of a son and daughter who are also active in music and sports.
