An
award winning, widely recognized computer
expert, Dave Mason calls himself the "Anti-Geek"!
He's a tireless entrepreneur and a hi-tech communications specialist.
Born in Tucson, Arizona the first son of an Air Force enlisted man and
a hard working mother, Dave spent the first 11 years of his life moving
all over the U. S. on almost an annual basis. |

As
a result he learned early and well that the
ability to communicate effectively with different people from different
cultures is a critical skill.
In college fifteen
years later, Dave went to work in a computer store
where he first experienced the fallout from the hype and over selling
that routinely goes on in the computer industry. Once happy customers
inevitably returned to the store with questions and problems that would
not or could not be satisfactorily answered by the vendors. Frustration
abounded both on the part of Dave and his customers, as both realized
the often-disappointing reality of the siren song of technology. Dave
now uses the frustration of that experience, and the communication
skills he learned as an Air Force brat to cut through the hype and
overwhelming marketing mis-information that often spews from the
computer and Internet industries, including the press charged with
covering them. Dave is consistently a favorite of his listeners who
appreciate his honest, down to earth, entertaining style.
Dave has been published in numerous computer periodicals, and was the
producer and host of the award winning television version of
ComputerTalk with Dave Mason.
Dave's many interests make him a well-rounded, informed and
entertaining conversationalist. He's very interested in politics,
government, and history. Dave enjoys auto |

racing, aircraft and
all
kinds of sports. He especially enjoys interacting with children, "the
most genuine of people".
Today Dave lives with
his wife and two young sons
in Tucson, Arizona. Dave is working on his new book, tentatively titled
"Common Sense Computing". He continues to provide consulting services
on a limited basis, makes frequent personal appearances and is in high
demand on the speaking circuit. Dave began his weekly broadcasts of
ComputerTalk with Dave Mason in April 1991.
On July 14, 2001 ComputerTalk with Dave Mason spread it's wings and
went into national syndication. ComputerTalk with Dave Mason is
currently heard from coast to coast, border to border nation wide. |
