welcome

Hello. My name is David. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm an entrepreneur and investor, but I still write code whenever I can. I fly planes. Small ones, anyway.

I like to travel, and have been lucky enough to see six of the seven continents. Antarctica, you're next.

By day, I'm CEO of Urban Ingots. By night, I blog at StartupCTO.
