David Denchik

Igniting big ideas and generating a culture of innovation and progress, Triton founder and CEO David Denchik thrives on the edge of a challenge.

Truly a story of the “American Dream”, David’s family immigrated to the United States from Russia (due to religious persecution) when he was seven years old. Ten mouths to feed and little money, David learned from his parents the importance of working hard and keeping faith.

Just five short months after his immigration, a local newspaper featured David as a child prodigy due to his ability to master the English language - both written and verbal - and interpreting for his parents.

Technically minded, David developed an early interest in computers when his older brother bought the family's first Macintosh. He was able to troubleshoot and repair both software and hardware issues from the onset, launching a lifelong passion for technology. By high school, David's talents earned him the responsibility of configuring the entire campus computer network. Before graduation, he was the IT consultant for the entire school district.

Prior to founding Triton, David worked at the right hand of one of the world's most successful software entrepreneurs at Vulcan, Inc. in Seattle. As a technology integration engineer, David's interest in super yachts sparked while working on the build of Motor Yacht Octopus (alongside fellow Triton directors Jason and Simon) as well as other luxury yacht projects for Vulcan.

Upon starting Triton in 2004, David has always made it his goal to think big.
