President and Owner of Echo Valley Meats, Inc.
David Alwan Biography
Third generation in a family-owned meat business, Dave Alwan decided to take his dream beyond the security of the family business to found Echo Valley Meats Inc. in 1998 with his wife, Dawn. Together they have grown Echo Valley from an old fashion- style retail meat market into wholesale products, a mail-order gift catalog, fundraising division, and gourmet catering. Alwan's faith in himself and belief in his vision have fueled his passion for the business and life in general.
Alwan purchased his first farm at age 23 to breed and raise Angus cattle. With that experience, he can say he knows the meat business from "conception to consumption." Because of his desire to learn from the "best," Alwan also traveled to Germany and Denmark for training in the art of making smoked hams and sausages.
Not satisfied with his local success, Alwan made an appearance on the ABC-TV show "Shark Tank." Although he didn't secure a deal, he impressed the Sharks with his meat products, authenticity, and enthusiasm and earned a rare opportunity to re-appear for another chance. This time, he secured a deal with billionaire investor Mark Cuban, making Alwan the only entrepreneur in the show’s history to pitch the same business successfully the second time around.
