Meet The Team

Todd Burton

Todd Burton

Founder, CVO, & Co-Owner

Todd's extensive background in construction machinery, combined with his passion for the U.S. Military and law enforcement inspired by his step-daughter, created an "epiphany" of the Diversified Support Vehicle (DSV) concept. The Light Dragoon (LD) concept soon followed in response to needs presented by law enforcement and military personnel.

Todd holds defensible rights to all concepts in the DSV and LD protection, reconnaissance and attack lines.
