Television Broadcast History:
Since growing up, Dave always wanted to be "Mr. Wizard". With his personality, love and knowledge of electronics he keeps people excited, engaged and engrossed (but he's no Triple-E!) with the technology and gear he speaks about.
With a fondness for gadgets and everything electronic, Dave hosted Hi-Tech Toys for the holidays, airing nationwide in November and December. This program was carried on networks such as NBC, ABC, CBS, UPN, WB and Fox. His humorous approach to explaining even the most complex products provided a natural and easy way for viewers to learn about great gift ideas. In one hour, more than 40 products were showcased and explained. Video clips of these great gadgets can be found in the Reviews section of this website.
In Dallas, TX way back in 1996 he met the producers of Net Talk Live!, a two-hour TV, Radio and Yahoo/Broadcast program that taught people how to get their computers onto the Internet. One week later, he was on-air answering questions and showing viewers the latest products and gear. Airing live for three years, the show ended up as a half-hour format in order to syndicate across the World!
You can find video stream archives of Net Talk Live and a few of the Interactive programs through Google Video's index of Net Talk and Gadgets.
In fall of 2000, the television show was relaunched as Net Talk Interactive. This change brought a hip new set and a more fitting name becuase of the many ways viewers could interact with the program. Plus the ability to air "live" was lost as networks began to air the show "live from tape" on their own time schedule across many parts of the day.

He's my Source through the Morse that is the heavily coded world of computers and the Internet. Gadget Guy!..long may he 'splain'"...
