Dave began his career in advertising as an Art Director at Ogilvy & Mather New York, where he found himself writing spots for American Express alongside legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld. He later moved to San Francisco, serving as Associate Creative Director at Goodby Silverstein & Partners, where he worked on notable campaigns for Got Milk?, Saturn, and Comcast.

Dave’s recent highlights include the Emmy-winning NBC Sports commercial 'America, Start Your Engines,' starring Nick Offerman, which aired during the Super Bowl XLIX broadcast. He has also collaborated with Christina Applegate, CollegeHumor’s Jake & Amir, Seattle Seahawks legends Walter Jones and Steve Largent, and—of course—the two biggest sibling celebrities on earth: Mario and Luigi. In 2014, Dave received the Ad Council’s top creative honor, the Gold Bell for Creative Excellence, for the 'Feed the Pig' campaign, followed in 2015 by directing the first-ever commercials for Yelp.com.

Now based in Los Angeles, Dave draws on his background as an agency creative, his instincts as a filmmaker, and his keen eye for casting to shape his work across branded and original content. He places high value on production design and art direction and will scour the globe to find fresh, invigorating talent.
