David Huang
CEO (Owner)
Owner of National Park Express. There have been few tour guides as passionate as David Huang in early 1990’s. He has always loved the Southwest. Having beautiful buses is important to him and he understands the true importance of maintenance and safety standards. Since moving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 1994, David has learned and developed the destination business, where he sees the importance of detailed preparations and the importance of presentation within transportation services. Combining these skills, David started his transportation service in 2003 with two 16-passengers sprinters. The following year, he took loans on his two houses to purchase four motor coaches. Today the fleet includes 40 luxury buses and sprinters. David is achieving a dream to allow more visitors to experience the National Parks and the Southwest with more freedom and choice.

David worked for over 10 years as International Sales Manager with Travel Nevada. His love for our National Parks and the Southwest inspires him to help others find their way to these natural wonders.
