Dave began his computer career by cutting high school class. He tagged along on his friend's field trip to the local university, had his first programming experience - and was instantly hooked.
4 years later, the Personal Computer industry was only just emerging. There were still three 'wild's in front of west, but the potential to drop at least one wild was on the horizon. Dave found success helping early adopters implement NorthStar Horizon, Apple II and Apple III computers to address their business problems. Back then, there was no standard for how printers, terminals and computers connected together, making each implementation its own unique 'experience'.
When the IBM PC emerged to change the face of business computing, Dave was the Service Operations Manager for a national computer reseller, ComputerLand. With responsibility for all IT staff including in-store, outsourced and field dispatch personnel, Dave also ran the (early days) Managed Services and IT Fulfillment programs for key Bay Area clients including PG&E and The US Court of Appeals, 9th District.
By 1985, computer resellers were faced with the decision to focus on product delivery or service delivery (consulting). As ComputerLand remained product-focused, Dave saw an opportunity to start a service-focused business and founded MicroMenders. MicroMenders' first two clients were PG&E and ComputerLand.
With more than 40 years of on-the-job training, Dave's work experience has included most roles to be found in a small business: Consulting, Accounting, Sales, Operations, Marketing, HR. He's pleased to say he now has other staff focused on each of these disciplines; no doubt delivering better results than he could ever provide on his own.
Dave's current focus remains setting direction for MicroMenders while meeting with business leaders to evangelize our vision - that IT, when done the right way, can enable businesses to achieve more.
