Summary
Dave brings to 28 years’ worth of passion and expertise in technology and the health/outdoor industries. As a sales and marketing executive, his wide range of experience spans Fortune 500 firms (Adobe and Texas Instruments) to raw start-ups. He has in-depth knowledge in both starting a business as well as in buying, developing, and selling existing businesses. Over his career, Dave has been involved in 8 M&A transactions worth $860 million. Most of those transactions were with strategic buyers. He is most proud that each transaction produced a successful organization with a thriving workforce. Most recently, Dave and his wife sold their adventure travel business alongside the Front Range team. While not helping buyers and sellers successfully reach their goals, you can usually find Dave on some bike—road, mountain and touring. He rides them all. In fact, he recently spent a month cycling the Pony Express route from St Joseph Missouri to San Francisco. In his spare time, Dave works on his passion project as a board member of www.OxygenBuzz.com, a lifestyle publication for active Baby Boomers. Dave holds a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Oregon State University and an MBA from Northeastern University. He also makes a mean chili. Specialties: M&A, marketing, business development, technology, outdoor, wellness and natural foods industry experience.
