About Dave Pell
I am a blogger and web entrepreneur. I write Davenetics, created sites such as Rollyo and Addictomatic and have invested in and/or advised more than 40 startups. I went to Berkeley undergrad and Harvard Ed school. I’ve worked as a high school teacher in Brooklyn and a sports reporter. My wife is incredible. My cat is a grand champion. My kids are amazing. My parents are heroes. My friends are all-stars. And there was even a character on the show Damages who was named after me.
So how did all of this potential lead to a friggin health blog?
The internet began destroying my life in the 90s when I learned html and launched a newsletter that became a blog (both awe and sympathy are appropriate reactions here). More than a decade into the web addiction, I now have tingling in my clawed hand, a pinched nerve in my neck, a bad back, blurred vision, no attention span, the inability to read anything longer than a tweet, a difficulty relating to others, a sedentary lifestyle, and I once fixed my Macbook Pro with a single prong of a plastic fork. In other words, I can blog like a sonofabitch.
My qualifications to cover health, social and psychological trends include years of childhood therapy (I’m proud to say never gave an inch and wet the bed right through it all); a doctor who responded to a Thanksgiving call from me about some concerning chest pains by saying he could squeeze me in sometime around the third week of January; and about three hundred hours in a steam bath with old Jews who often complained that I seemed to kvetch too much. Trust me, I’m your man.
