Discreet, Discerning, Insightful
Independence High School, Independence, Iowa
University of Northern Iowa: Marketing, Design
Dedicated husband, father of three.
Avid bike rider, regular dog walker. His family has a disproportionate share of Scrabble and crossword freaks. Dave’s convinced it’s genetic. In his own modest words, “I kick ass at Scrabble.” Still crowing about the time he helped his mom get 143 points on one word. Got tired of having matching Jeeps with Jeff so he broke ranks to get an Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer.
Dave is the agency’s representative to the community: AdFed President, Chamber of Commerce Board & Executive Committee, Convention & Visitors Bureau, Freedom Festival President, Des Moines Register "Up and Comer”, History Center Board & Executive Committee, St. Mark's Lutheran Church "Utility" Leader.
Three things that drive him crazy:
1. Bad advertising
2. Self indulgence
3. Poor carpentry
His philosophical approach to business
is no-nonsense:
"Don't buy a dog and do your own barking."
"There's no such thing as a short-sleeve dress shirt."
Dave is the suit who gets it done. The involved marketing arm of the agency.
Song of Choice: “Free Ride” (Edgar Winter Group)
(Always research-oriented, Dave came up with this one because it has the most plays on his iTunes.)
