About me
David is the CEO and co-founder of Tern, where he focuses on empowering travel advisors to expand their businesses by modernizing and integrating their technology stack.
A proud alumnus of Michigan Tech, David holds a degree in Computer Engineering and a minor in Computer Science. He began his professional journey as the first employee at Handshake, a professional network for college students. Today, Handshake is the second largest professional network in the United States. If you know a college or university student, there's a good chance they're using Handshake for their job or internship search.
David is at his happiest when combining his engineering mindset with his sales and marketing experience to create industry transforming platforms. At Tern, David spends his time doing exactly that as he and his team build the future of technology in the travel industry.
David enjoys exploring new destinations with his wife, Meghan, and their Shih-Pooe, Spark. His personal travel experiences offer valuable insights into the evolving needs of the travel industry. When you see him, ask him how a missed ferry connection in Greece led to the idea for Tern.
