History

Dave began working in the TV business during the late 1980s while still a student at Michigan State University. He got his start in newsrooms and local productions … shooting and editing video, writing scripts, running live trucks, directing and producing newscasts.

A writer/producer position at WOOD TV8 morphed into a digital job when he created the station’s very first website at woodtv.com. For about two decades he led the digital charge at WOOD TV8, building the station’s website to become very profitable and one of the most visited local TV websites in the U.S. Throughout this time, the customer experience was the most important thing. The business grew by leveraging the best technical solutions and engaging the audience to satisfy their needs.

That experience led to promotions into the station’s corporate broadcast parent companies where he held titles such as Director of Product, Director of User Experience, Regional Digital Director, and Digital Video Manager. Each position allowed him to gain greater experience where the digital world intersects with the TV world.
