Dave Carroll
Founder/CEO

I'm David Carroll. A serial entrepreneur, and the rule-breaking visionary behind DOPE. I'm 38 years old and started my first business at 24, Lions Share Maintenance. Lions Share pretty much grows itself now and I have phased myself out over the last few years to focus on my dope new passion for direct mail, data, and the automation of traditional marketing.

I build and streamline the processes at DOPE which help us better support you and your business.
