David Price Named to
PDCA Board, Assumes
Role of Northeast
Chapter Representative
PDCA CHAPTER LEADERSHIP
With 27 years’ experience
as a deep foundation
construction contractor
serving primarily the New Jersey
and New York markets, David Price of
Linde-Griffith Construction Co. brings his
industry acumen and market leadership
to the PDCA Board of Directors, where he
will serve in one of four chapter representative
positions.
Price, along with several of his colleagues
at Linde-Griffith, has been instrumental
not only in its establishment but
also the growth and prominence of the
PDCA Northeast Chapter for more than
a decade. Because of his commitment to
the Northeast Chapter and the professional
development programs it brings to practitioners
in the greater New York City metropolitan
area, Price says it behooves the
group to strengthen its alliance with the
national organization.
“We have had a loyal core of active
and enthusiastic members in the PDCA
Northeast Chapter,” said Price. “Many of
our members regularly participate in the
educational and industry events that PDCA
hosts on a national level, and it is always a
productive experience. I believe that the
board opening for a Northeast Chapter
representative provides us an opportunity
to better embrace the resources available
through PDCA, as well as help influence
the ongoing initiatives it makes available
to the international membership.”
Price is currently CEO at Linde-Griffith,
a Newark, N.J.-based contracting company
at which there are several generations of
family ties. On any given day, he is involved
with various aspects of the business ranging
from field work and project management
to estimating and client relations
to any number of administrative functions.
His four partners are family, and
they proudly carry on the 111-year Linde-
Griffith legacy their grandfather, fathers
and uncles passed onto them, focusing on
client service and accessibility, construction
aptitude and project excellence.
Price is married to Kristin Shannon
Price, the daughter of longtime company
executive Peter H. Shannon, Jr., who passed
away in 2003. Price, his brothers-in-law and
cousins have taken the company helm since
the recent retirement of senior leaders John
F. Shannon and Raymond Finley III.
A graduate of the University of Delaware
and an NCAA-designated All American
offensive lineman on the Fightin’ Blue Hens
football team, Price earned a Bachelor
of Science in Finance in 1990. He played
football under the legendary coach Tubby
Raymond while attending UD and is proud
to have been part of Raymond’s innovative
“Delaware Wing-T” offense, which has
since been implemented by dozens of top
football programs since its inception.
After graduation, Price spent
a short time in the pharmaceutical
industry before he was afforded the
unique opportunity with the family
business. He joined Linde-Griffith
in 1994 in a role that he still enjoys
immensely to this day.
PDCA welcomes Price to its
Board of Directors as the Northeast
Chapter representative. t
