With a vision to enhance connectivity across the Southwest US, he established American Dark Fiber, a company dedicated to offering dark fiber solutions to cities, carriers, data centers, and high-capacity bandwidth users. Beyond public market solutions, the firm caters to content developers, financial networks, healthcare systems, and other sophisticated private network users. Dave also leads Broadband Asset Strategies, a consultancy aiding municipalities and institutions in harnessing high-speed network capabilities. His entrepreneurial spirit is evident in his previous ventures: he co-founded the CA-based CLEC Wilcon, which was acquired by Crown Castle for $600 million in 2017, and FTI, a rapidly growing CLEC in California, acquired by Pamlico Capital. Dave’s journey began in corporate sales at Motorola and Sprint in the 1980s, laying a foundation for his subsequent executive roles at Cogent Communications, PathNet Telecom, and West Coast Radio Communications.
