The Social Media Evangelist
Dave began his involvement in Social Media in November of 2005. His inspiration came from the time during his deployment in Sabine County, Texas for Hurricane Rita relief operations. During that time he would update the home office using an ongoing e-mail message chain that unofficially became known as The Sabine County Letters. Unknown to him, his e-mails had been forwarded and even posted at one location. The keen interest in these messages lead him to discover blogging, which was his gateway to Social Media.
Since 2005 Dave has been involved in Social Media aspects through the current major services and some defunct ones as well. During this time he has been able to hone the craft by testing out the theories of others, creating his own philosophies, and gathering a better understanding of the mediums involved through networking and practice.
