Founder & Creative Lead
I help people bring their stories, ideas, and professional vision to life online.
Over the past 20+ years, my work has spanned publishing, training, marketing, sales, and operations leadership. In 2022, I launched AmicusAe.
What began as a more personal way of helping small businesses and creatives shape their presence online has grown into 20 active client partnerships.
I help clients figure out what they’re really trying to say, find the clearest and most compelling way to say it, and then shape it into something that feels true to who they are and what they do.

Leadership Testimonials
David is one of the most kindhearted, trustworthy, and engaging people I’ve ever met. He also builds kickass websites.

He also has a strong mind for business. I can’t recommend David enough to anyone trying to get their small business off the ground. I have the website of my dreams thanks to him.
I had the privilege of managing David during his time as a Training Lead. His dedication to people and their professional growth was apparent from day one.
David’s people-first philosophy led to his promotion to Operations Lead for the SMB Marketing Experts team, where he hired and guided a 40-person team with the same empathy and strategic insight.
His focus on data-informed, relationship-centered leadership met all of our expectations. Most importantly, David created a collaborative culture grounded in trust.

David is one of those individuals who is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that he exceeds business objectives and pours into those who are fortunate enough to be on his team.
Great human. Great manager.

ORIGINS
What AmicusAe Means to Me
-
Amicus means friend in Latin
That idea sits at the center of everything we do. AmicusAe began with a simple conviction: work should feel more human, more collaborative, and more rooted in genuine partnership.
-
Friendship is at the heart of how we work
I believe the best creative work happens when people feel seen, respected, and understood. That is why I try to build relationships that feel less transactional and more like true collaboration.
-
I couldn’t find it, so I built it
I started AmicusAe because I wanted to work with friends who just happened to be colleagues, and with clients who felt at home in that same friends-first culture. I wanted a business that felt personal, thoughtful, and real.
-
I partner with people I genuinely admire
I actively seek out people, organizations, and businesses whose work I respect. Then I help bring their vision and brand to life online in a way that feels authentic, beautiful, and aligned with who they are.
-
When you treat clients like friends, the work changes
You stop simply delivering a service. You listen more closely, care more deeply, and build with more heart. The result is stronger creative work, stronger trust, and outcomes that actually feel meaningful.
If you want a web and marketing partner who cares about the relationship as much as the result, I’d love to build something with you.
Let's Be Friends
Friendship is at the heart of how we work.
