Lead singer in a band. Check. Owner of multiple bars. Check. Bustling writer that sold off the bars to produce and write professionally in Los Angeles. Check.
Yeah, Dave does it all. He writes and produces a ton of the work for C2C, including narratives, industrials and explainer videos. As the lead producer for Whole Foods 365 grand openings and recipe videos, he’s also a damn good cook – and hand model – in his own right.
A recent transplant to LA, Dave is the creator of Backfired! A five-issue comic mini-series due out at the end of 2019. He has also had two screenplays advance to the semi-finals of multiple screenplay contests.
Dave is originally from Detroit, Michigan, but he lived in Austin for just over a decade prior to moving to out west. While in Austin, Dave owned and managed the Oil Can Harry's and Rain night clubs.
