David Exum, owner /operator of Free Bird Bail Bonds began his career in the bail bonding and fugitive recovery industry over thirty years ago. Licensed as a bondsman 25 years ago, he started his career in Virginia Beach, VA. As a very small company, David, being the sole proprietor and only agent of his company, began doing things a little differently than his competitors. He wrote very few bonds
in the beginning as he observed every aspect of the legal system, which enabled him to make wise decisions in choosing his clients an also fortified him the knowledge to advise his clients and their families with helpful information about the court and jail system. Through his professional integrity and prompt courteous service, his business grew rapidly. By the end of the second year, Free Bird Bail Bonds had grown statewide and beyond, including Maryland, North and South Carolina and Colorado. Since he insisted on the same professional service from his agents that he had rendered his clients, he reduced the amount of time that he personally wrote bonds so he could spend more time on community issues. David contacted the Superintendent of schools and requested a portion of class time to speak with students about criminal activity, the ramifications thereof and how to avoid being one of Free Bird’s clients. He also founded the Hampton Roads Bondsmen’s Association. As President, he and the members met with court personnel, sheriffs, district attorneys, local politicians and any other persons associated with Criminal Justice System, to discuss methods to help streamline the process. David also spent terms as Vice-President and President of the Virginia Bondsmen’s Association and has been a member of the United States Bail Agent’s Association for many years learning and educating himself and others on the state and national level regarding the Bail Bonding industry. David Exum is looking forward to meeting and working with the folks of Asheville and surrounding counties. GOD BLESS YOU!
