After a (very) short design career in fashion he began to log over 10 years of brand building in apparel from regional to National sales manager to owner. It was here that he honed his skill set in marketing merchandising and communicating the brands message from concept through to the end consumer with sensitivity. With Brands like Exsto, Scott Langton, Girbaud Le Jean and Koperhaus under his belt, he felt it high time to make something ultimately more useful than jeans and a shirt. In 2012 Dave will launch URtensils™.

Dave is a member of the fundraising committee for The Fresh Air Fund, an active mentor for the Greater Mt. Zion Church in NYc, President of The For Our Children Non-Profit, and avid cook (and eater) and greatest of all.........a father.
