WILMINGTON, N.C. — At its Annual Conference, 101 Mobility proudly honored Dave Myers, owner of 101 Mobility of Greater Philadelphia, with the Royce Barnhardt Excellence Award. This distinguished award, named in honor of Royce Barnhardt—the father of co-founder Keith Barnhardt—celebrates individuals who exemplify vision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to serving others.
Dave Myers, one of 101 Mobility’s pioneering franchise owners, opened 101 Mobility of Greater Philadelphia in 2010 as the company’s third franchisee. Since then, he has built a business that not only provides essential mobility solutions but also stands as a pillar of advocacy for individuals with disabilities and mobility challenges. Dave’s impact goes beyond running a successful business—he’s a true advocate for accessibility, working tirelessly to help people regain their independence and live with dignity.
“This is the best business I have ever owned,” said Myers. “However, the greatest satisfaction comes at the end of each day, knowing that my company has changed people’s lives for the better.”
The Royce Barnhardt Excellence Award was established to honor the enduring influence of Royce Barnhardt, whose dedication to service and customer care laid the foundation for 101 Mobility’s values. Royce’s belief in helping others and his relentless pursuit of excellence continue to shape the company’s culture today.
Keith Barnhardt, co-founder of 101 Mobility, reflected on the significance of the award, stating, “Royce’s commitment to doing the right thing, to going above and beyond for others, is what drives us. Dave Myers embodies those values wholeheartedly. He isn’t just a business owner—he’s a true advocate for those we serve.”
Luke Sampson, co-founder of 101 Mobility, echoed this sentiment: “From the very beginning, Dave was a trailblazer. His leadership, his passion for accessibility, and his dedication to the brand have played a crucial role in shaping 101 Mobility into what it is today. His work speaks for itself, and he is a most deserving recipient of this honor.”
President Joe Loch reinforced the importance of celebrating those who carry on the company’s mission: “Celebrating pioneers like Dave Myers isn’t just important—it is core to who we are as a company. His story is what keeps our mission alive and thriving. It’s through his vision and unwavering commitment that we continue to grow and serve lives in communities across the United States and Canada.”
The award presentation was a special and memorable moment during the conference, made even more meaningful as one of Dave’s daughters, Emily, was in attendance to witness her father receive this prestigious award, along with additional honors recognizing his outstanding contributions and leadership within 101 Mobility.
As 101 Mobility continues to expand and innovate, the Royce Barnhardt Excellence Award remains a beacon of the values that define the company: integrity, service, and an unrelenting focus on improving lives.
