Dave Herrala – Owner/President
Born in Seattle, raised in the great Midwest, to now finding the exciting challenge of work, and passion for the outdoors on the Western Slope of Colorado. If you don’t bump into me on the mountain bike trail, or chasing a heard of elk in the fall, or the skin track into the back country in the winter, I will be busy at work leading IPS to success and at home raising my family.
"When you build good relations and do the best you can, you allow success to happen."

Mike Kumpula – Vice President/Estimator
I was born and raised in the Midwest, and moved to the mountains in search of new opportunities and challenges. Now, with Innovative Painting Systems, we are working to grow our relationships and in doing so create opportunities for our employees and our customers. When I am not working I enjoy the numerous outdoor activities this area has to offer both for my myself as well as my wife and kids.
"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts."

I’m from Greeley, CO and graduated from UNC with my business degree. In my free time I love spending time with my wife, camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting. I like working for IPS because of the great people and community we have. I always like a new challenge, so I’ve enjoyed problem solving and building relationships with the people I’ve worked for and with.
