About Me

Hi! I'm Dave, and welcome to my site. This is where I'll be keeping track of what I'm working on and thinking about when it comes to the media industry, software, and tech (among other things).

I've been working in media most of my life, and have had a wide range of jobs -- from the biggest media companies to my own small business, and from content production through to tech and engineering. I've learned a lot along the way and gotten interested in a wide variety of topics. Some of them will get featured here.
