Dave began connecting computers to cellular phones in the early 1990’s and created some of the first mobile data solutions for carriers all over the nation. He has developed communication focused retail superstores and the products that go within, as well as routing technologies, supply chain management and back-end database infrastructure.
Dave is a frequent public speaker, technology expert for broadcast media outlets and sits on the advisory board of several early stage companies.
When he isn’t jetting around the world to introduce people to NewAer, he likes to rebuild old Vespas, projects which have a defined beginning, middle and end, unlike running NewAer.
