About
American Veteran Technical Solutions, LLC
Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
Mission Focus: Deliver trusted aviation domain insight, operational integration perspective, and strategic leadership support that advance safety, continuity, and operational excellence across federal transportation systems.
Founded and led by retired Federal Aviation Administration executive Dave Spencer, AVTS reflects a career spanning nearly four decades of federal service, including more than three decades within the FAA. Beginning as an entry-level electronics technician in 1990 and culminating in appointment to the Senior Executive Service in 2013, Dave’s experience bridges operational, technical, and executive leadership roles across the FAA enterprise.
That progression informs AVTS’s posture today: providing context, clarity, and disciplined insight into how modernization initiatives intersect with operations, safety, governance, and organizational reality—without directing outcomes or influencing acquisition decisions.

It’s an honor to share our mission with you.
After 38 years with the Federal Aviation Administration—spanning operational leadership, engineering oversight, and the modernization of critical National Airspace System infrastructure, I founded AVTS with a simple purpose: to bring trusted, mission‑focused expertise to the organizations that keep our nation’s aviation system moving. Throughout my FAA career, I had the privilege of working across Headquarters, regional offices, and field facilities, leading teams through complex modernization efforts and ensuring the operational integrity of systems that millions of people rely on every day.
That experience shaped my belief that successful outcomes come from clarity, collaboration, and disciplined execution. At AVTS, we bring those values to every engagement. Whether supporting aviation programs, engineering initiatives, program management offices, or technology procurement, our goal is to be a reliable partner, one who understands the mission, respects the stakes, and delivers with integrity.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. I look forward to the opportunity to support your goals and advance the work that keeps our national infrastructure strong, resilient, and ready for the future.
