David T. Daly, Founder and CEO, began his EMS career as an EMT-Basic in 1993. A graduate of St John’s Prep in Danvers, MA, David attended Syracuse University and graduated from New Hampshire Technical Institute where he received his Degree in Paramedicine in 1997. After graduation, David worked in a variety of supervisory EMS roles in the Merrimack Valley.  Simultaneously David started several other successful companies, The Daly Group LLC, a real estate planning and development company and Daly General Contracting, Inc. a regional builder of residential and commercial projects. These companies have completed many high profile construction projects in the Merrimack Valley, Southern New Hampshire, and Southern Maine, some attracting national praise and attention.  In 2006, David turned his attention back to EMS, founding PRIDEStar EMS. Inc. and in 2018 PRIDEStar Student Transportation LLC.  His goals were to create a patient and employee centered organization that transformed inter-facility medical transportation and to provide a superior level of care to adults and children requiring unique, specialized transportation. Mr. Daly sits on several local non-profit boards and supports a wide range of charitable organizations through his extensive philanthropic activity. David lives in Lowell with his fiancée Melissa and their daughter Kennedy.
