Chesapeake, VA | December 2nd | For Immediate Release - Mr. David Krause recently announced his intent to step down from his position on the ABNB Board of Directors after more than 19 years. The Board has unanimously voted to appoint Mr. Andrew Keeney to fill this position, effective December 1st, 2020.

Mr. David Krause

Following graduation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1961, Krause began a 22½ year career as a Naval Flight Officer flying aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea, and off the coast of Vietnam. While on active duty he obtained Master’s Degrees in Business Administration and Public Administration. He retired from the Navy as a Commander in 1983.

Following his military retirement, Krause became an insurance and investment advisor with Mass Mutual Life Insurance Company.
