Dave Kochbeck

Founder, Producer, Nerd

Howdy,<div><br></div><div>I'm Dave Kochbeck. Learned to read by learning to program at age 3. Developed my first application for commercial sale at age 7 (for the TRS-80, if you're interested). Managed at one time or another to learn over 30 dialects of assembly language, which I've now hopefully forgotten. Fell in love with Tandy computers (dead), Commodore and Amiga (dead), Sequent (dead), Sun (dead), SGI (dead), the Vax (dead), OS/2 (dead)... I'm on a Mac now, and I love it. So maybe you should buy Microsoft stock. Or short Apple.</div><div><br></div><div>I've had a wild career: National Director of Technology for Howard Dean's presidential campaign, Head of Tech for Friendster, EVP of Interactive Tech for Live Nation. Started out as IBM's second-youngest programmer. Had a few technical hits and a bunch of technical misses. Odds are good that something on the computer you're using now has something I've developed on it. Pretty cool ride.</div><div><br></div><div>Right now I'm the co-founder of AtomicPass which I'm not yet going to talk about except to say that it's ahead of its time, and the underlying platform is really cool.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm also a partner in Big Lake Productions. Our main clients are Silicon Valley startups and startup training camps who want to produce highly organic video pieces about the startup experience and the entrepreneurial journey. Not surprisingly, I make a pretty good producer for that topic. Also, I'm an equipment geek, so I tend to have pet cameras and lights and funky handmade lens mounts and such.</div><div><br></div><div>If you're seeing this, you're probably checking out a campaign of mine. Please contribute so I can keep on being a nerd-nomad. Thanks. You're the best. :-)</div>
