Our Background

Personal Profiles

David Oetken:  

With over 25 years of experience in the fireworks industry, he was practically born into the business-growing up in a family of dedicated fireworks enthusiasts.  This lifelong passion has fueled his deep expertise in both display and consumer fireworks, making him a trusted name in the field.

Beyond the fireworks, he enjoys a hands-on approach to life.  In his free time, you'll often find him working on or collecting cars, or relaxing with friends out on the golf course.  He is also deeply committed to his community, actively supporting local businesses and contributing wherever he can to help his community thrive.

​

Laura Oetken:

With 15 years of hands-on experience supporting 1.3G fireworks displays-especially around the Fourth of July- she brings both dedication and enthusiasm to every show.  Her passion for the industry extends beyond large displays, with a special appreciation for consumer novelty products and the joy they bring to celebrations of all sizes.  

Outside of fireworks season, she enjoys a well-rounded mix of hobbies, including cooking, fitness, and exploring her creative side through art.  She also loves spending quality time with two beloved fur babies, who keep life fun and full of energy.
