Hi, I'm David.
I build best-in-class websites and marketing funnels, and write about how — and what actually moves the needle.
Three doors.
Pick the one that fits what you need. Most people come through the first.
Best-in-class websites and marketing funnels for service businesses and operators who want the math to work.
See the offer →Open to a few collaborations and full-time roles where I can make a real difference. Marketing-led operator roles especially.
What I'm looking for →If you're an operator-founder who needs a thinking partner and a small early check, this is the door for that.
How this works →Notes, essays, and the occasional debate.
Anything from a one-line scrap to a long essay. No schedule.
- What competitive gaming taught me about operator flowI left ranked games because losing ate me. The same intensity, channeled differently, is what I am trying to bring to building things now.
- Marketing in 2026 is splitting in halfAI-amplified slop on one side, craft-driven trust on the other. The two strategies cannot share a roof.
- Sapiens, in a hurryA short take on Harari's Sapiens — what stuck, what didn't, why an operator should read it anyway.
A few live things.

View live →The longer story.
I grew what started as a Wix site into a marketplace doing over $400,000 a year in sales. A decade of marketing behind that — building my own startups and consulting across dozens of industries. Now I write about it, and build for a few operators a year.
The work has always been the same shape: figure out what is actually useful, ship it cleanly, then keep tightening the loop between offer, audience, and the thing they buy. Some of it was mine end-to-end. A lot of it was alongside operators who needed a marketing brain that could also build the site, write the copy, and run the funnel.
