Devin Samaha

Devin Samaha has been with Universal Building Maintenance since the relaunch of the janitorial division in January 2008. Prior to joining the UBM Executive Team, Devin was first exposed to the janitorial industry when he worked for Waxie Sanitary Supply, one of the Nation’s leading janitorial supply companies. The training he received at Waxie has been a great benefit to his career at UBM. At Waxie, he trained janitors, executive housekeepers for major hotels, and maintenance contractors on proper cleaning techniques, proper use of cleaning chemicals and the use of all cleaning equipment. Devin furthered his career when he joined Collins and Aikman Floorcoverings, where he sold commercial carpet to property managers, architecture and design firms, and direct to end users focusing on the commercial office space vertical market. This is where he was first exposed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, better known as LEED. Since C&A leads the carpet industry in environmental sustainability, he was provided extensive training in “green” practices. Devin then left C&A to join the Commercial Real Estate industry, where he worked for a business bank and helped business owner’s secure financing for the purchase of their office buildings. Devin worked in this industry for next eight years until joining the UBM Executive team.

Devin holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of San Diego, where he played soccer for four years, earning a trip to the NCAA Division I “Sweet Sixteen” his senior year.
