Who we Are

 David Sandiford, President & Director of Contractor Relations 

With over 20 years of financial consulting experience, I have dedicated my career to helping businesses navigate complex financial landscapes. Since 2017, I’ve led JRG Surety, providing expert guidance to California contractors seeking the best surety bonding solutions.

A proud graduate of Cal Poly, Pomona, I earned my degree in Marketing, which has given me a strategic approach to business growth and client service. Prior to my work in surety bonding, I was a publisher of 3-D books in the 1990s, an exciting venture that blended creativity with entrepreneurship.

Beyond the world of finance and bonding, I’ve had some unique life experiences—from acting in blockbuster films like Steven Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can and Mike Myers’ Austin Powers – Goldmember to competing on the TV obstacle game show WIPEOUT!, where I placed 4th overall.

When I’m not helping contractors secure bonds, you can find me on the pickleball court, where I compete at a 4.0 level.

At JRG Surety, my mission is simple: to make surety bonding easy, efficient, and accessible for California contractors. Whether you’re a new contractor or an established builder, I’m here to help you grow and succeed.

At JRG Surety, we are more than just a bonding agency—we are a trusted partner for California contractors navigating the complexities of the surety bond industry. 

With over 30 years of experience, we have successfully secured over $2 billion in bonded construction projects, helping contractors win bids, grow their businesses, and build strong financial foundations. 

Our deep industry knowledge and commitment to personalized service set us apart, ensuring that new and established contractors alike receive expert guidance tailored to their unique needs.

Whether you're securing your first bond or expanding into larger projects, JRG Surety is here to provide the support and expertise to help you succeed.
