Meet Dave Coleman
Business owner, educator, and the person behind FTB Digital.

Dave Coleman has spent nearly three decades learning what makes businesses succeed — from the trading floor to the boardroom to the classroom.
He started his career as a licensed stockbroker (Series 7 & 63), building a client base of over 100 investors and managing $35 million in assets within his first two years. From there, he moved into retail and operations leadership, then spent years in Human Resources — building HR systems from the ground up for a fast-growing medical device company — before becoming a Regional Service Sales Manager overseeing teams and sales goals across the Pacific Northwest.
As Director of Sales & Marketing for a senior care organization, Dave built and executed strategic plans, launched digital marketing initiatives, and drove business development in a fiercely competitive industry.
Today, Dave teaches IB Business Management, Business & Marketing, and Digital Marketing/AdWords to high school and college students — and works hands-on with AI and no-code tools like Base44, ChatGPT, and modern marketing platforms every day. He holds a Master's degree in English from Southern New Hampshire University and a Bachelor's in Sociology from UC Riverside, along with certifications in HR (PHR) and sports/performance coaching.
FTB Digital brings all of that together: real sales experience, real operations and HR expertise, real classroom-tested knowledge of AI and marketing tools — applied directly to helping business owners build a website, a strategy, and an online presence that actually works.

What "Feed the Beast" Means
The internet is a beast that never stops feeding on information — and never stops rewarding the businesses that give it real substance. Most business owners have the expertise. They just don't have the time, tools, or know-how to feed it to the internet the right way. That's where FTB Digital comes in.
