Personal Background
David is originally from Decatur, Illinois. He attended Williams College in Massachusetts, graduating magna cum laude with a B.A. in Psychology in 2003. While at Williams, he developed a love for architecture and architectural history, and tried a year of architectural graduate school at Ohio State before heading for the San Francisco Bay Area.
After brief stints at a boutique advertising agency, as an in-house designer, and in-house search marketer, David decided to start his own small business in early 2006. He’s been loving life ever since. He focuses on mid-sized businesses with outdated online presences, helping them build their brands and increase revenues with sophisticated designs and best-practice Search Engine Optimization strategies.
In October of 2007, while on a weekend visit to Portland, he decided he would relocate his business to the city, a move he completed on March 1, 2008.
David is also the Founder and Editor of Bracketography.com, one of the leading sources of NCAA Tournament Projections.
David is a passionate golfer and when he has time to play, maintains a scratch handicap. He is particularly fond of the world’s great links courses, including Ballybunion, Carne, Royal Aberdeen, Nairn, Cruden Bay, and Oregon’s own Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes.
