Since joining Egg Strategy’s Boulder office in March 2008, Dave has worked in a variety of product categories – from snack foods to alcoholic beverages to healthcare – and assisted the development of innovation pipelines for brands such as Mike’s Hard Lemonade and Quaker Oats. No stranger to the trenches of consumer-insight mining, he has also worked on qualitative research projects for companies like Coors Brewing, Beam Global Brands and Hard Rock Café.

An entrepreneur at heart, Dave has founded and run several small businesses, most recently a design firm specializing in consumer goods packaging and retail display solutions. Works of his can be found at REI, Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops, as well as many other independent retailers around the world.

In his free time, Dave is an avid guitar player – having played in a band since his early teens – and a total adventure junkie. When winter hits there’s only one place to find him: screaming down the side of the mountain somewhere in Colorado. Dave earned a B.S. in Business from Indiana University.
