About Dave

 

I am:

I’m a chaser of shiny things and a bit of a “troublemaker,” in the positive sense of the word. I’m not one to accept the status quo.

 

About this website:

This is my personal website. The comments, thoughts, and opinions expressed in the essays on this website are solely mine and are not those of any organization for which I may now work, have previously worked, or of which I may be affiliated.

On these pages, I write about things related to motivation, marketing, cultural change (and now to navigate it), or technology.  Quite often, there’s a nonprofit twist to it.  Sometimes, I’ll toss in something personal for good measure.

My writing volume is to directly proportionate to my workload. I’ve been writing this blog periodically since about 2001. Some of the content is now dated, but I’ve left it here as an archive.

The phrase, Standing for Possibilities under my name above, refers to what motivates me in life: The possibilities of what can be.  If you’d like to know more, check out this article: Will you make a public stand?

 

My experience:

I have helped lead change for nearly 25 years. My background includes extensive experience in marketing strategy, database marketing and direct response, branding, licensing and trademark management, marketing technology, and business development.

My experience spans many industries; I have advised many well-known organizations including: Alzheimer’s Association (National), American Bar Association (National), Disabled American Veterans (National), Microsoft, Subway, Domino’s, and Cargill Ag Horizons to name just a few.

I have served as Vice President, Strategic Services at the Jackson Group/Total Response, Managing Partner of Taylor-Harkins Group, Executive Vice President at Colman Brohan Davis, Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President, Customer Care at Geneer and VP, Marketing and Product Development at Nykamp Consulting Group. I’ve also held leadership positions with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, PinPoint Marketing, and The Arnold Agency.

I’m an avid student of emerging technology and cultural change as it relates to revenue development. I’m a frequent speaker at conferences and seminars on topics such as innovation, brand development, licensing, marketing, strategy, marketing information systems, database marketing and CRM.
