"Dave's teaching style was conversational, amusing and didn't leave me feeling like a tech-dummy, but he managed to fit a great deal of useful, technical information into such a pleasant experience. I believe it will improve my Facebook marketing strategies going forward."
— Amy Ernst Mayberry, Owner, Viva Vintage


"Dave has been presenting 'Facebook 101' to our organization. His presentation is insightful and engaging — successfully connecting with an audience ranging from Facebook novice to expert."
— Yasmeen Schuller, Senior Digital Marketing Manager


"Dave spoke on Social Media for Churches to a group at my church — he is a great speaker, a thoughtful analyst, and expert on social media. He developed a thorough presentation, and he tailored it to fit the concerns that our church had. Dave's writing and his copious research would be great assets for any organization trying to develop or refine a social media strategy. He understands the technology/medium, and he is a good listener when people ask questions."
— Tom Doyle, Attorney


"From the first session of Dave's class, the way I approach using Facebook both professionally and personally changed. This was extremely valuable ... I would recommend this to anyone with a small business, nightclub, or band, in particular."
— Suzanne Shelton,
PR Professional
