A quick intro

Hi, my name is Dave and I'm a product manager for a stellar digital studio called Oven Bits. I also co-founded Dotvita, a web design consultancy, started a content licensing project and created one of first SaaS website builders for personal branding. Back in 2006, the lure of the web was too great to resist. I leapt from a corporate career to begin building businesses. Along the way I’ve had the privilege to work with equally passionate founders to craft brands, build products and accellerate growth.

Ever curious, Dave has taught me so much about the intimacies of product development, serving customers in creative ways, and teaching himself technical things that continue to blow my mind. He is a tech-geek, a lover of people, and a servant leader of teams. I'm proud to know Dave as a colleague and a friend.
