Helping Property Owners Across West Central Ohio Find the Right Equipment


Dave Oakley is a Customer Account Manager with more than 23 years at Koenig Equipment, helping homeowners, large property owners, and local governments find the right John Deere equipment to take care of their land. He works mainly out of the Urbana store and believes the right machine turns property maintenance from a burden into something you actually enjoy.


Dave Oakley

Customer Account Manager

Dave came to Koenig with mechanical and sales experience and a lifelong connection to the company, having grown up in the same hometown as the Koenig family. He answered a help wanted listing for a position in Urbana more than two decades ago and calls it the best move he has ever made.

In the 23 years since, Dave has built his reputation on experience and straight talk. There are not many people left in the industry with more than 20 years behind the counter, and he puts every bit of that knowledge to work matching customers with equipment that fits their property and their goals.

Customer-First Approach

Dave's approach is simple and it has worked for more than two decades: ask questions and listen. When he understands how you use your property and what you are trying to accomplish, he can point you to the right piece the first time. He would rather take a few extra minutes up front than see a customer end up with a machine that does not fit the job.


One of his most common pieces of advice:
Right piece on the right property. That is the key to maintaining your property correctly, so do not under buy.

In the Field

Dave's favorite part of the job is seeing a customer's excitement when their new equipment arrives. Whenever he can, he likes to deliver it himself and watch them put it to work for the first time. Over the years he has helped local operations grow from a single mower into full John Deere fleets.


  • Helped a local landscape company move from a 30 year old John Deere 318 and a competitor zero turn into John Deere commercial mowers, an account that has since grown well beyond 20 units
  • Converted a landscaper who had never run John Deere into an all John Deere mowing fleet
  • Backs every recommendation with 23 years of John Deere and Koenig in house training

The more you have seen and done, the more you can help solve a customer's needs. That experience is what I bring to every conversation.
