Viwinco Management Team
President
David Barnes is the second-generation owner of Viwinco windows and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience within the industry. After graduating from college, David began working for Viwinco as the first outside salesmen. A few years later, he purchased the company and continued to cultivate it based on the humble principals it was founded on. His genuine and friendly personality has allowed him to build and maintain strong relationships on the sales side of the business and he continues to preserve an open-door policy with his employees. While he is now mostly removed from the day-to-day operations, he acts as a mentor to both his son, Skyler Barnes and Viwinco General Manager, Michael Duncan Jr.
