William Staib - President

A native New Yorker, Mr. Staib is a graduate of Fordham University and holds degrees in Mathematics and Economics. He began his transportation career in 1979 working as an ocean and air freight forwarder to the commercial and project shipping community. Managing the traffic and logistics for numerous construction and sewage projects worldwide instilled in him the importance of the timely arrival of goods at destination, a consideration which guides many of his decisions at UCL.

In 1990, Mr. Staib relocated to Houston, TX to handle the transportation needs of a major Japanese trading company. His requirement for reliable charter brokerage services led him to his UCL partner, David Keller and in 1995, Unitcargo Container Line, Inc. was established. After 10 years, Mr. Staib remains enthusiastic about the challenges of ocean shipping and UCL's future prospects.

Prior to completing a tour of duty in the US Coast Guard as a deck officer, Baltimore native Dave Keller attended Loyala College where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree. On completion of his military service, Dave joined a steamship agency in Baltimore specializing in project cargo shipments. He was transferred to Houston in 1983 to help manage the Houston office. Bill Staib became one of Dave's customers in the early 1990's and together they formed Unitcargo. Dave's perseverance in the development of UCL's worldwide agency network has enhanced UCL's growing book of services and is expected to yield additional benefits to UCL customers.

Mr. Dan de los Reyes joined UCL in 2005 as the Houston General Manager and since that time, he has worked tirelessly to reorganize the services into the professional product we offer today. Under his guidance, UCL business has continued to expand. In 2006, Dan spearheaded the opening of UCL’s new Asia office in Manila, Philippines. Today under his tutelage, UCL Asia employs twelve professional staff members dedicated to providing the best customer service in the business.

Currently, Mr. de los Reyes is Deputy Vice President of the organization and he continues to plan new innovations for our future.
