Several years ago, Dave's mother suffered a stroke and was left with motor difficulties that made it very challenging for her to do manual tasks, such as using her keys to open her apartment door. After seeing his mother's challenges, David took it upon himself to do everything he could to help improve her quality of life - and by extension the millions of people around the world who, like her, struggled with opening locks and doors to their home and office. He wanted to develop a technology to aid anyone who may struggle with fine motor skills such as people with Parkinson's, spinal injuries, visual impairment, amputees, arthritis, or any other condition that may affect their ability to use a lock and key with ease.

Touch2Access was originally formed to develop and patent a touch-to-open lock requiring hand contact to unlock however, as the world was faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, Dave pivoted to an even brighter idea, a touch free access control. The ID Pulse Technology was developed and leveraged to patent a unique, contactless door entry solution. In partnership with DESi, experts in the electronic security and smart lock industry, the Bella Smart Lock was born.
