Meet the Founder | CEO David D. Khalil
Dedicated Service and Educational Leadership in Alcohol Laws.
David D. Khalil is a U.S. Army Veteran who served honorably in the Military Police Corps.
He began his professional career as an Enforcement Officer with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB), where he was responsible for enforcing PLCB laws and regulations.
In 1987, following a legislative transition, enforcement duties were transferred from the PLCB to the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), resulting in the creation of the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement (PSP/BLCE) and the new title of Liquor Enforcement Officer (LEO) for personnel in the field.
Throughout his distinguished career, David conducted numerous investigations into the illegal sales and furnishing of alcohol to Visibly Intoxicated Patrons (VIPs) and minors. His efforts led to both administrative citations and criminal arrests for these serious offenses.
Recognizing the importance of education in preventing underage drinking, David volunteered his time to speak at schools and community groups across Pennsylvania. He focused on raising awareness about the effects and consequences of alcohol misuse among minors, representing the PSP/BLCE in these outreach efforts.
David further enhanced his public service by completing the PSP Instructor Development course, becoming a certified PSP instructor. He played a key role in launching the statewide “CHOICES” program, which educates youth about underage drinking laws and their consequences. As part of the inaugural group of LEO instructors, David traveled to schools and communities to present the CHOICES program and advocate for responsible decision-making.
After retiring from the PSP/BLCE in 2015, David returned to the PLCB as a Licensing Analyst Supervisor in the Bureau of Licensing. During this time, he gained firsthand experience with the Responsible Alcohol Management Program (RAMP) training provided to licensees and managers, focusing on preventing sales and furnishing of alcohol to VIPs and minors.
David retired from the PLCB Bureau of Licensing in 2018, but his commitment to education did not end there. He reengaged with the PLCB RAMP as a classroom instructor, educating licensees and their staff on the laws and regulations regarding alcohol sales. His instruction emphasized the administrative and criminal actions that can be taken against both licensees and staff, as well as the effects of alcohol on patrons, signs of intoxication, responsible serving practices, and proper identification techniques.
To further expand his outreach, David developed a RAMP Server Seller training website, demonstrating his dedication to providing accessible education to licensees and their staff.
