As part of his mission to connect the generations using humor\, David wrote and produced TimesFour\, a one-man show that is breaking new ground in the corporate entertainment market as a comedy about how the generations click\, collide and cope in the world of work. David's creative communication projects have earned him numerous accolades including gold medals at the NY Film Festival\, and the much coveted CLIO Award. He was named to the prestigious list of "Forty Under 40" movers and shakers by The Business Journal\, as well as one of 200 Leaders to Watch. Prior to launching BridgeWorks\, David worked for ABC television in New York City as an intern for PrimeTime Live. Later with CBS radio\, he embarked on a round-the-world trip covering such topics as the end of apartheid in South Africa and the fall of the former Soviet Union. Upon his return to the United States\, David was employed as creative director for a multimedia company where he worked with clients such as 3M\, American Express\, and Wells Fargo. There he concluded that communication strategies that hit the hot buttons of one generation often miss the mark with another. This resulted in the creation of BridgeWorks with business partner Lynne Lancaster. David is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin at Madison with B.A. degrees in Communications and Sociology. He was selected as a fellow for the Michigan State University Mass Media in Britain program and studied in London with the BBC. Most recently\, David received a certificate in non-profit management through the University of St. Thomas.
