The Woodward Alumni Hall of Fame Association
David J. Pakulski Inducted 2026 - Class of 1978

The son of a Woodward graduate and the first of seven siblings to graduate from WHS, David Pakulski, or “Paku” as he was known during his time at Woodward, credits much of his success in life to the vocational education he received at WHS. Educators such as Ted Csizek made a lifelong impact on David by teaching him to learn with his head and his hands.
Those skills served him well as he moved from post-secondary education into his career in the manufacturing and supply chain industry. After graduation, David earned his associate's degree from Owens Community College, his bachelor’s degree from Bowling Green State University, and his master's degree from the University of Toledo.
He began his career as a shift supervisor for Vulcan Materials Company and made several career advancements with different companies before taking on the position of Senior Supply Chain Manager for Wurtec Inc. Having earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 1976, David continues to serve his community today as a volunteer with the LPGA Golf Tournament and as a lector at St. Adelbert Church. He has also served as a board member of the Polish American Community of
Toledo. David has been married to his wife, Dee, for 36 years.
