A watershed year indeed, this was also when Decibel Blue expanded to Denver, opening its downtown office.

Active in both the Denver and Phoenix community, David has been on the Endowment Board for ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication for over a decade. Passionate about reducing the stigma associated with mental illness, he also serves on the Board of Project Helping, in addition to being published in Thrive Global on the topic.

He regularly speaks on, or moderates, industry panels as well as pens guest columns for Dun & Bradstreet’s AllBusiness.com, O’Dwyers and PR News.

David proudly calls himself a “mutt,” thanks to a career that has included a wide spectrum of roles and industries. After graduating from Wesleyan University (CT), David began an 11-year-tour-of-duty in Hollywood developing screenplays and overseeing the production and marketing of feature films for Warner Bros., Disney, Paramount and 20th Century Fox, including “Rapid Fire”, “Free Willy 2”, “Broken Arrow”, and “Murder at 1600.” Ready for a new adventure, David enlisted for the dot-com revolution in 2000, first joining a startup venture in Palo Alto as V.P. of Content, and then as the Director of Brand Marketing for an e-learning software company servicing Fortune 100 clients. After moving to Phoenix, he tackled marketing and public relations assignments in the arts, retail and tourism sectors before opening Decibel Blue.
