David Dauch, Chairman, President and CEO of American Axle, has some tough shoes to fill.  But fill them he does.

"A lot of the foundation that I operate from today is from my father," he said. "He taught not only myself but a lot of other people, and he reached a lot of people in a positive way over the years."

David has been at the helm of AAM since September of 2012.
