Dive Into Radio
2004 – 2008

During his time with CBS Radio, his core station went through a lot of changes from an alternative station to an FM talker to a top 40 hip-hop station, so in that time, David worked with a wide variety of businesses that wanted to get their message out on the FM dial in the Phoenix market.

As digital opportunities for advertisers became more and more available, David enjoyed helping his clients with affordable and effective solutions that would harness the power of the internet to drive revenue for their businesses.

Traditional + Digital
2019 – present
Currently David works with his clients in a capacity that embraces traditional marketing opportunities as
well as digital opportunities. How these two aspects of marketing come together is where David really
enjoys helping his clients drive results. The customer journey can begin in so many ways, and it is common for people to need to be exposed to a message from a brand via multiple channels — this is where things can really get fun.
Harnessing the power of some heritage radio stations in the market, utilizing on-air talent as influencers, and also making sure that a client’s digital footprint helps people as they travel along the customer journey is something that David prides himself on providing for the clients he works with.
