Dave Svancara, a native Arizonan, grew up in the coin laundry business working with his father in their family owned coin laundry stores. He learned how to serve coin laundry customers and how to operate a successful coin laundry business.

His father Frank Svancara, later purchased Coin & Professional Equipment Co., the Arizona Maytag commercial laundry equipment distributorship. As a teenager Dave was able to manage coin laundry stores for the business and help in the installation department.
At age 23, he began working for Coin & Professional Equipment Co in the service department. After a year he began working as a sales representative for the company. 14 years later his father retired and Dave, along with his brother Greg, purchased the business and today operate the oldest and one of the most prominent commercial laundry equipment distributorships in Arizona.

Dave has been involved in developing many new coin laundry stores, remodeling and re-equipping existing stores, and developing laundries for apartments, RV parks, and mobile home parks over the years throughout Arizona.

Dave began serving on the AZ CLA board in October 2000 when the affiliate association was formed and is the longest serving member on the board. In February 2005 he was elected to the position of secretary in the association.
