Chief Product Officer
UNC Asheville's NEMAC
Asheville, NC
Dave’s been in the geospatial and tech field for over 30 years—working in everything from consulting to county and city government, schools, and designing geospatial products.
As Chief Product Officer, he’s all about building tools that work for real people. His secret sauce?
- Listen first (yes, take out the earbuds).
- Watch how people use your stuff.
- Put user goals ahead of your ego.
A champion of open-source, Dave believes in openness, transparency, and digital freedom. When he's not crafting great software, you’ll find him hiking with his family and their joyful, wiggling lab.
