Dave Rothacker was a trailblazer, architect, and proponent of early online trade industry communities/idea exchanges. He honed his writing skills on platforms like Dan Holohan’s The Wall and his AREA51HVAC websites.
Dave started writing the weekly Saturday Rabbit Hole in 2009 privately for the Service Roundtable. His hunting ground and inspiration for material are mainstream business and science. He explores domains outside the trades like Leadership, Purpose, Marketing, Branding, Psychology, Sociology, Neuroscience, Design, and Creativity, bringing back lessons, ideas, possibilities, and thought provocation.
Working in management for HVAC contractors during a 25-year stretch of his 42-plus-year career, Dave’s favorite time to work was early Saturday mornings. These were times when the world slowed down, ideas and thoughts surfaced, and imagination flourished. It was also an opportunity to flat-out get stuff done.
Dave is a Leadership Explorer and Guide, a Thought-Narrator, an Independent Executive Director on the John Maxwell Team, a voracious reader with insatiable curiosity, and, along with Ben Stark and Chris Hunter, co-author of the book It’s Go-Time.
