Dave has over 25 years experience and success in various sales and marketing positions spending virtually his entire career in this profession. One thing he certainly understands is why customers buy things.
Dave spent much of his career in the high tech industry working for Fortune 500 companies such as NCR, AT&T, and Lucent Technologies. He also has experienced smaller, entrepreneurial environments which he prefers because, as he says, "You, as an individual, have the opportunity to really affect bottom line results and in some cases change the way they do business. Making a difference is what it's all about." This philosophy has carried over into his current role.
Past responsibilities included working a small sales territory in Columbus to directing a large New England sales force to managing a major Fortune 500 account. They all required different skill sets and provided opportunities to grow personally.
Dave graduated from The Ohio State University in 1977 with a B.S. in Business Administration majoring in marketing. He, of course, is a hard core Buckeye fan. He has been married to Linda for 24 years. They have 2 boys and live in Galena.
