Following graduation in February of 1989, Dave headed off to help start the WorldTeach Program in Thailand. He returned to the states 18 months later, settled in San Francisco and helped Jed Smith '88 launch Tribe Computer Works, a seminal Macintosh networking company. Tribe morphed into Whistle Communications, Internet appliance maker sold to IBM in 1999.

Dave then co-founded RapidLogic, which pioneered embedded Web servers for managing any device via the Internet. His next venture was a four year stint as Vice President of Product Management and later Business Development at BackWeb Technologies. At BackWeb, Dave was responsible for a major joint venture with Real Networks that developed the Real Jukebox and the first Music Delivery System, which would later evolve into MusicNet.

Dave's next stop was Picatel Systems, an ill fated but revolutionary company that developed vocal navigation and interaction technology for cell phones and PDAs, an idea whose time will someday come.

Now back in enterprise software, David is currently SVP of Sales and Global Business Development for DigitalFuel, builders of software to manage global outsourcing and quality of service.

Two amazing kids, Ike and Tressa, beautiful wife Annemarie ('88), 8 surfboards, booming flower garden, big stack of telemark skis, and a cat named Liam round out the picture.
