Hi, I’m Dave.

For over two decades, I’ve been telling stories that move people and brands. I’ve been lucky enough to win just about every kind of ad award there is, but what matters most to me is who I make the work with.

When I’m not doing that, I’m chasing after my three-year-old, who keeps my creativity in constant motion.

 FAQs

  • Good question. I started at Arnold Worldwide, formerly Vickers & Benson, as a junior copywriter. I worked there from 2002 – 2004 until I was laid off (we lost BMO).

  • To McLaren McCann from Jan 2004 – Jan 2005.

  • Yes, very much, even if I only spent two years there (Jan 2005 – Jan 2007). Intense.

  • Yes, for Aletico International from May 2007 - June 2011. No, I’m Maltese/German. I don’t really speak Spanish, but I’m decent at conjugating verbs.

  • Yes, from August 2011 to February 2012.

  • 13 years, from February 2012 to January 2025. Hard to believe how quickly time flies. But when you’re paid well and feel valued, why leave?
