David Burman, a principal of B2K Development, has been nominated to the board of The Museum of American Armor, whose extensive collection of historic military vehicles pays tribute to those Americans who have served to protect our freedoms.
“If our nation’s military heritage is to remain an indelible part of our shared history, a new generation needs to ensure that we are capable of sustaining that legacy of valor, courage, and sacrifice. David Burman embraces that responsibility and is a much welcomed addition to the Armor Museum’s board of trustees,” stated Lawrence Kadish, president and founder of the museum.
David Burman said, “It is an honor to become part of a museum that, since its opening on the anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 2014, has become a compelling destination for the New York region. From international tourists to Long Island veterans, from local school groups to those seeking to connect with the heroes in their own families, the Armor Museum has become a vital connection to our past.”
Mr. Burman is responsible for analysis and acquisitions, along with project planning and development at B2K Development, a Jericho based development company. David’s strong work ethic has served him well in meeting the demands and challenges of strategic real estate development on and off Long Island. He is deeply involved in projects in various stages of development, including thousands of residential and senior living units, as well as varied mixed-use and commercial properties.
David has been recognized as one of Commercial Property Executive’s Stars to Watch in 2019, and he was honored as one of Long Island Business News’ 40 Under 40. David earned his BA in Business Administration from the University of Miami. He and his family live in Old Brookville.
Michael D. Sapraicone, the Armor Museum’s Senior Trustee, stated, “David’s nomination to the Armor Museum’s board reflects a basic truth: leaders of a new generation of Americans are recognizing the sacrifice of those who came before them in the defense of our freedoms. In a world where those freedoms are once again under assault, David’s presence becomes ever more important.”
The Museum of American Armor is a state charted, 501 (C) 3 institution located inside Nassau County’s Old Bethpage Village Restoration, 1303 Round Swamp Road, Old Bethpage. Within its 25,000 square feet of space is a collection that includes some 50 operational armor vehicles including the iconic Sherman tank, a replica Tiger tank, armored cars that helped liberate the Nazi concentration camps, and Vietnam era military vehicles. It annually welcomes some 12,000 people to its various events including World War II Weekend that will be held this year on June 10th and 11th.
