David Payette
Owner
I’m a Rhode Island native—born and raised here, and a proud graduate of the University of Rhode Island. Life took me west for a time, including a winter in Colorado and nearly a decade in Truckee, California, near Lake Tahoe. That’s where I met my wife and where we started our family, so when it came time to launch our business, naming it Truckee Enterprises LLC was a natural tribute to the place where it all began. We returned to Rhode Island in 2011, bringing those experiences and values home with us.
I’m a husband and father of two, and I’ve always believed in the power of community. Over the years, I’ve coached youth soccer and lacrosse, and I’ve seen firsthand how strong teams are built,through trust, shared purpose, and a commitment to one another. That same philosophy has guided me through 27 years in corporate America, where I’ve led teams through growth, challenge, and transformation.
Today, I’m focused on building a business that serves Rhode Islanders with integrity and care, especially during times of need. Whether it’s through strategic leadership or hands-on support, I’m committed to creating something lasting and meaningful for the people and communities I care about most.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me on the golf course, snowboarding, or swapping stories from past rounds and mountain adventures. I believe in showing up, working hard, and building something that reflects the values I live by—family, resilience, and service.
