So, you’re probably asking your
self — who is this dave character and why does he have such a silly name?
My name is David Webber, but I go by davesacre online. It is pronounced: dāvz’ā’kər or “dave’s acre”. The name started as a joke by a friend of mine in college but has really come to mean a little bit more.
Welcome to Dave’s acre: my spot on the web.
Now, let me introduce you to myself:
Faith:
For starters, I am a Christ Follower. The term, Christian, means different things to different people. Originally it meant “Little Christ” and it was a name given to the followers of Jesus by people who were looking in on their lives. In today’s culture it has come to mean a lot of different things, and it hardly holds the same weight as it used to. To me, being a Christ follower is being on a journey through life trying to love God and love others the best I can while using Jesus as the ultimate example of love.
Family:
I am also a husband. In 2006 I married my amazing wife whose name is Laura. She LOVES to coupon and teach others about it as well. In 2007 I became a father to my son Bo and he is by far the cutest little guy I have ever met. I could not live life without Laura and Bo. I love them deeply and they are very much a part of every step I take and every decision I make.
Work:
In 2008, I started my company, simplData. There, I serve as the President, Strategist, and Lead Developer. At simplData, I have a team of freelancers that help me turn whatever people can imagine into reality. I love that I get to work with some amazing people — clients, strategists, and developers. We, together, get to build and work on some great applications.
Volunteering:
I volunteer at 242 Community Church which is the church my family and I call home. There I play a couple different roles. One of those roles is as a Life Group leader. Every week a group of people get together outside of a normal Sunday service and do life together. That includes studying the Bible, having parties, and giving back to the community. I also lead an amazing team of people who run everything you would see on the big screens on Sunday mornings — they run the presentation software and handle all the transitions between the computer and the video cameras.
I also volunteer with an organization called RainCatchers. This organization helps families in Haiti by building them water collection systems. It’s an awesome organization. I’ve been with them on a few trips and I have some stories up on my blog.
Everything Else:
Those are just some of the major areas of my life. Like anyone else, there is always more to who this Dave Webber character is. The best way to find all those other little things out is to read my blog, maybe even grab my blog’s feed, to follow me on Twitter, but most of all remember to engage me in conversation.
