David Chandler
David’s previous career was as a successful mortgage banker. His most recent position was as the Mid-Willamette area manager for Countrywide Home Loans, managing teams in Salem, Corvallis and Lincoln City. His branches were regularly recognized nationally for their operational performance. He brings to third river a passion to build a world-class company with a laser sharp focus on the needs of small to medium sized companies. He understands that most small businesses do not have the resources of a Coca-Cola or Starbucks and while “branding” is great, he understands that clients need their internet marketing partners to understand that lead acquisition and revenue creation is more important than “getting your name out there” or “being known”. Originally from Washington DC, David relocated to the Pacific NW in 1995. He has been married to his wife Sara since 1996 and they have 3 awesome kids: Peyton, Max and Ava. He is a fanatical Washington Redskin fan and is confident that Mike Shanahan will lead his beloved Redskins back to the glory they experienced under the incomparable Joe Gibbs. |
