David Cross, a graduate of the Maine Maritime Academy, began his
career as a Deck Officer, predominantly working with Maersk Line
Limited. His journey post-sea led him to managerial roles in
intermodal/equipment container control, spanning the United States
and China, with the Maersk and Costco Lines. Among his
accomplishments, Mr. Cross leveraged his expertise in container
technology to pioneer the PACE (Portable Applications and
Containerized Engineering) concept. This innovative approach
utilized shipping containers as foundational elements for
construction projects. His contributions were notably featured on
the Bob Vila Home Improvement Show. Furthering his vision, Mr.
Cross, together with fellow founders of the Company, developed a
unique design and fabrication methodology centered around
transforming standard cargo shipping containers into
code-compliant, engineered structures. These modular structures are
widely recognized for their safety, strength, and environmental
sustainability, marking a significant advancement in the field of
construction and engineering. Furthermore, Mr. Cross has testified
before the 111th Congress on containerized applications for use in
emergency response initiatives at the request of FEMA.
Mr. Cross commented, “I am deeply honored to have been selected
by the Modular Building Institute to serve on their Government
Affairs Committee. This appointment not only acknowledges our
efforts at Safe & Green, but also represents a significant
opportunity to contribute to the broader landscape of modular
construction. I look forward to collaborating with industry leaders
and policymakers to drive innovation, sustainability, and
regulatory advancements that will shape the future of modular
construction.”
Paul Galvin, Chairperson and CEO of Safe & Green Holdings
stated, “I would like to extend my congratulations to David, who
has played a guiding role at the request of International Code
Council (ICC) members to help promote the use of containers as a
base building component in modular construction. This has resulted
in an understandable codifiable process in the form of the first
ESR certification (ESR 3764) for shipping containers transitioning
from instruments of trade into instruments of construction. This
ESR was a key step in mainstreaming the whole concept of
code-compliant modular container structures and provided
governmental and building authorities, as well as the design and
construction industry, with an industry-approved methodology for
the use of intermodal shipping units as modular building
components.
“Furthermore, David plays a pivotal role at the Company,
spearheading Safe & Green's expansion in the container markets
industry. His leadership extends beyond container technology, as he
is also instrumental in guiding the Company's expansion into the
wood and steel modular markets. This expansion strategy encompasses
the operations of Safe & Green's subsidiaries, particularly its
manufacturing subsidiary, SG Echo, based in Durant, Oklahoma.
David’s vision and expertise are central to the Company's
diversification and growth in these innovative and sustainable
construction markets.”
