About

Dad, husband, consultant, citizen, David builds bridges across disparate pieces of knowledge and applies expertise in behavioral science and negotiation to help individuals and teams flourish.

He draws on a decade of experience studying, researching and working alongside a handful of academic luminaries, including John Bates Clark Medalist Steve Levitt, Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, Max Bazerman, John List, and Chad Syverson.

He knows a little about a lot, and a little more about:

Decision Making and Noise, Science of Negotiation, Strategy, Behavioral Economics, Data Science, People Operations, Organizational Psychology, Field Experimentation, Well-being, and Project Management.

Born and raised in South Jersey & Philadelphia, David graduated from The University of Pennsylvania with a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics; he studied negotiation and behavioral science at Harvard, and graduated from Chicago Booth with an MBA. He worked as a management consultant with IBM in DC, and then moved to Chicago to help build a startup consulting and venture firm called TGG that used data analysis, econometrics, and experimentation.

Since 2008, David has consulted for governments, start-ups, Fortune-500 firms, and non-profits; in insurance, retail, gaming, banking, airlines, and mining; as an analyst, researcher, writer, manager, trainer, and speaker; and on projects for a broad array of organizations including US Department of Agriculture, US State Department, US Department of Defense, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Citigroup, Bank of America, WonderWork, AIG, Children First Fund, Chicago Public Schools, Allstate, Harvard Business School, University of Chicago, Terlato Wines, Mbriks, and Peace of Mind Senior Services.

David recently moved back to the east coast to raise his young family near other family, and to introduce his two young boys—August (up top) and David Arlo—to the Wissahickon, Chestnut Hill, and Angelo’s Pizza!
