David Hart is executive vice president, MOCA Systems Inc. He attended the University of Utah on an athletic scholarship while receiving his master’s degree in architecture. His career spans over four decades in program management, facility management, and architectural design.

During the initial 20 years, he worked as designer for both SOM in Houston, TX, and for DMJM (now AECOM) in Honolulu, HI, where he designed the winning entry for Alii Place, a 23-story public/private development. In 1994, he opened his own architectural firm, which oversaw the design of public architecture, educational facilities, hotels, high-rise office buildings, and various government structures. A significant project came from the Utah governor to restore and implement base isolation measures for the Utah State Capitol. Assuming the roles of Architect of the Capitol and Executive Director of the Capitol Preservation Board, he successfully completed the restoration project and won several national awards.
