He started his first business in his mid-twenties, collaborating with a business partner out of a makeshift office: a one-bedroom apartment with a shared computer and one phone line. Years later Dave founded Mediacurrent with Paul Chason, a friend that goes back to his elementary school days, The two of them saw a huge void in the marketplace for agencies that could assist organizations with adopting an Open Source web strategy. Starting in 2008, they began sponsoring Drupal conferences around the nation. Today, Mediacurrent is one of the most recognizable names in the Drupal marketplace and a top 10 contributor.
