David Bruce McMahan
Philanthropist David Bruce McMahan loves cars. He loves winning too. Combine that with records to be broken, and the Maxximus G-Force is the inevitable consequence.
His interests and contributions vary widely, from ecological conservation in South America to the establishment of education and training programs in Cambodia. He's also a strong supporter of the arts and classical music. His love of the mechanical arts is probably the most personal. Like most builders, he takes a direct approach to problem solving. When he was 15 he owned a '55 Studebaker. He wanted a convertible, so with all the glee of a strong-willed young man he blowtorched the roof right off.
He survived his parent’s wrath and even rebuilt the engine, getting the car to go 104mph in a ¼ of a mile.
David Bruce McMahan is the Controlling General Partner and Chief Executive Officer of McMahan Securities Co. L.P. and the founder of the Cristina Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the support of training through donated technology.
David Bruce McMahan graduated from the University of Southern California in 1960 and in 1992 earned his Ph.D. in Labor Economics from the Union Institute, where he also served for ten years as a trustee and from which he received the President’s Medal for Exemplary Service.
