dave nespoli

CEO / Software Architect. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University (1993, Computer Science and Mathematics), Dave spent two years lecturing in Computer Science at the University of Helsinki and riding his bike around Europe. When he got tired of flat tires, he settled in Denver and worked for Quark for five years, managing the technical direction of their flagship product. He left Quark to try a few of his own ideas in the early stages of the .com boom (and ride his bike some more). Dave founded Silver Salmon in 2000 and the work has kept him busy for the past decade.
