Dave has harbored long-standing passion for enabling independent developers to bring innovative new products to market. Four years ago, David abandoned a nine-year career in PC and console development to roll the dice on something completely different.

The gamble has paid off thus far. As a founding member of the RealOne Arcade team at RealNetworks, David played a key strategic role in the establishment and growth of the emerging Electronic Distribution (ie – “Downloadable”) game channel. This allows him to expand on-line distribution, merchandising, and commerce opportunities that allow game developers of all sizes to bring unique products to a whole new audience with less risk and more fun.
