About David.
I’m David, a solo operator in South Florida. I grew a Wix site into a marketplace doing $400K+ a year, sold it, and spent a decade doing marketing across dozens of industries.
Now I build small, useful companies and write about the work. If you need marketing or a website that has to earn its keep, we should talk.
Build small. Own it. Compound.
