Hello there.

I’m Dave.

I love writing, I suppose most writers do. I’m waiting for the day I meet a copywriter who’s like “Actually I hate writing, I got into advertising as part of an intricate revenge plot to spite my brother by making a toilet paper mascot that looks just like him so everywhere he goes people point and yell “Hey Look! It’s Johnny Wipes!””

I have two masters degrees because I’m an absolute masochist. One’s in film production, the other’s in executive advertising. My hobbies include a wide variety of nerd stuff, everything from D&D to comic books, you name it, I’ve discussed it enthusiastically with a bunch of fat dudes.

I want to be a copywriter because I adore creativity, imagination, and repetitive conversations where I explain to people that my job has nothing to do with copyright law.
