ave Stevenson got hooked on computers the first time he used a PC in high school. He was the first on his block with an Internet address, and innately recognized the transformational power of technology early on. After high school, he served two years doing missionary work in Brazil. Then, he returned to the States to earn his BSCS in Information Systems at Utah Valley University. Though his first job was with a global software company, as the dot.com era emerged, Dave gravitated toward start-ups—specifically those that used technology to solve problems for the mortgage industry. He was involved in numerous high-visibility projects, from automating title requests, to developing one of the first e-sign software solutions in the nation, and became a popular industry speaker. Dave also became an expert in scaling, helping these start-ups successfully grow from seven employees to more than 100; implementing processes and procedures that added structure, without stifling creative output. The emergence of the iPhone brought out his entrepreneurial spirit. Operating as Stevenson Software, Dave created a broad collection of popular iPhone apps. Many, including his acclaimed Landscapers’ Companion, became so iconic that they were featured by Apple, as well as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Wired magazine.
