Dave Carroll
Founder/CEO

I'm David Carroll. A serial entrepreneur, and the rule-breaking visionary behind DOPE. I'm 37 years old and started my first business at 24, Lions Share Maintenance. Lions Share pretty much grows itself now and I have phased himself out over the last few years to focus on my dope new passion for direct mail, data, and the automation of traditional marketing.

I'm married to a wonderful woman, dog dad to the most unique Border Collie x Cattle Dog Mix you'll ever meet, and striving to reach new opportunities every single day. On my days off I'm either out trying new foods, catching up with my family, kicking back with my guys, or hitting someplace nice outside in nature is where I tend to be.
