David Bio
David Sandelman, COO, CTO & Co-Founder, Cannatrol
David Sandelman is a serial inventor, problem solver, entrepreneur and the creator of Cannatrol Systems for cannabis postharvest processing. A veteran of new product development in the HVAC industry, he leads the production and engineering initiatives at Cannatrol’s parent company, VT Dry & Cure Technologies. David holds 19 patents—including two relating to the drying, curing and storage of cannabis—and among his early inventions is the two-wire digital clock thermostat that helped consumers address the energy crisis of the late 1970s. A firm believer that every problem has a solution, David has decades of experience building and designing industrial controls, and worked on new cooling technologies at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Electric Power Research Institute. He is also accomplished in production design, wireless and cellular communication, and electrical engineering.
David’s experience as a construction and industrial consultant includes oversight of all mechanical, electrical and plumbing design for a 20-story luxury highrise condominium project, and design services for food processing plants’ heating and cooling systems used for production equipment. As VP and CTO at Notifact Corporation, he conceptualized a low-cost wireless monitoring system—spun off from his time as VP of New Business Development at Heat-Timer Corporation—that created a new service category in the $80 billion HVAC industry.
In addition to his mechanical engineering career, as a side project David and his wife renovated and ran an inn and restaurant that won awards from Saveur and Food & Wine magazines and was named one of the “Top 10 Culinary Inns in America” by Fodors. David lives in Vermont and is schooled in whitewater guiding and rescue, as well as rock climbing instruction. When time permits, he also enjoys mountain biking, hiking and skiing.
