I have had the pleasure of working with David at both Net Health and ConnectiveRx. David's work product quality is second to none - he is smart, creative, and professional. Our projects together focused on culture and he has an amazing gift at creating and presenting the story. He is happy to take on any project and make sure the work is put in to drive it to perfection.

VP of People & Culture | ConnectiveRx

Working with Dave was a fantastic experience. He has a unique leadership style that feels more like true teamwork by trusting those around him, giving space to take the lead, and always offering support when needed. That trust made me more confident in my work and pushed our projects further. Dave’s technical skills are equally impressive. Whether it’s video production, branding development, or using marketing analytics to drive smarter email campaigns, he knows how to deliver work that makes an impact. On top of that, he’s personable, easy to collaborate with, and made every project enjoyable. I’ll truly miss being on his team!

Tess

Tess D.

Operations Manager | ConnectiveRx

From the mouth of a former direct manager: Dave enables creation, period. Marketing, internal comms, digital, and brand leaders (especially in the BORRRING B2B space) this is your guy. He has enough magic to humanize and find the best niches in classically unsexy business sectors. If you're out there relying AI for your ideas--what you need is a Dave!

Erika
