Hi there, I'm David

From January 2011 to January 2021, I led engineering, product, design, and marketing at CareerPlug. After 2+ years at ClickFunnels as a Director of Product Engineering, I am now working full-time as a consultant to early stage bootstrapped founders, helping them navigate the messy middle post product-market fit as their teams grow and their role changes from producer to visionary leader.

I write about the challenges founders and early leaders at bootstrapped companies face in my newsletter, Navigating the Messy Middle.

I live in Los Angeles, California with my wife, Sarah, and our polydactyl cats, Chili and Peppercorn. We travel when we can and garden when we can't. Whenever possible, I am hiking, boxing, lifting weights, or digging in my yard.

If you have found my work useful, or think I may be able to help your organization build stronger product and engineering muscles, get in touch.
