Hello! I'm Dave, from New Orleans. Low-key person, I think I'm easy to get along with. Love to meet new people and share our respective worldviews! I like to be creative, primarily playing music and designing new products and invention ideas. Additionally, I'm a big fan of nature--hiking, camping, fishing, all that good stuff. My online brand is focused on eco-friendly products so I'm especially engaged in learning about and spreading information about major global climate issues- especially living in a place like New Orleans, which is hugely threatened by hurricanes, land loss (1 football field of land every 30 minutes-hour is lost in my state), and rising sea levels (much of the city is below sea level). Sorry to get bleak there.

I run an online retail business where I've outsourced any location-dependent activities, so I'll be working and traveling for a while (a few years?) but will eventually go back to the US-- maybe back to New Orleans, or California...we'll see!
