Hi, I'm Dave.

I live in Bel Air, MD with my wife and three kids.

I'm the cofounder and CEO of Singulate - a new startup I launched in 2024 with my two cofounders from the early Hopin team. Singulate is a next gen AI email marketing platform that provides marketers with the easiest way to do segmentation and better relevance-personalization in marketing messaging— results of up to 10X CTRs and 5X response rates. We're helping marketers in demand gen, growth, community, and events nurture and convert more pipeline from their events and existing customers not like not an AI cold sales outreach tool (although it can do reactivations) but rather as a long term lifecycle growth marketing platform.

Prior to starting Singulate, I was on the founding team of Hopin. I joined the company pre-revenue, pre-investment in 2019 and scaled it from $0 to $30m ARR. I served as head of marketing and helped launch the Events platform, StreamYard Enterprise, Session.com, and led growth for Streamable while running PR for company ,ending my tenure as VP Multiproduct Growth when the company exited in April 2024.

I'm the owner of Entrepreneurship Handbook, a top 5 Medium publication with over 260k followers covering entrepreneurship, startups, tech, and design. Mike Allen, cofounder of Axios, referred to me as an "entrepreneurship expert."

I'm a former columnist at Inc.com, where I wrote about innovation, creativity, and business ideas. Once, I interviewed Shark Tank's Daymond John, founder of FUBU, Inc., a $6 billion global brand.

I’m a former Trends writer for The Hustle and contributor to CNBC Make It. My work has been featured in The Next Web, Smashing Magazine, Business Insider, Quartz, Thought Catalog, and Fortune.

I'm the author of Runaway Millionaire, a 384-page novel about a family tested by crime, betrayal, and radical forgiveness.

I'm the cofounder of Party Qs, Inc., a conversation starter app with over 600,000 downloads on a mission to help people have quality conversations, available in the App Store and Play Store.
