David Wheeler Sr. developed D. Wheeler Enterprises in 2002.  In 2004 DWE started canvas repair.  The company is solely owned and operated by David.  In the canvas repair unit he is assisted by his wife, Lois.

David learned to sew as a boy from his mother.  One of his first jobs was in a quilting shop in the 1962.  He also sewed airbags for corporate America in the initial stages of airbag development.  David worked for a local boat top shop prior to starting his own boat top repair business.

Lois, in addition to sewing, is the webmaster for the website and is responsible for other communications.  She has published several articles in boating magazines and has authored and published a small book of poetry.  One article, "A Boater's Dream", is available online in www.InlandBoater.com.  Her book of poetry about life, MEANDERING is available online at www.xlibris.com or contact us.

The company has grown from a basement project to a dedicated building.
