/ The "Team" /

Dave Lantz, Ph.D.

So yeah, Nomad is a team of one. Like so many of my clients, I’m one person wearing many hats, juggling countless roles to make things happen. I've been right where you are today. And over the last 35 years I've gained the experience and knowledge that comes from time and hard work--just like you.

I started in creative and tech with a photography studio focused on product and business imagery. What started as a passion for the perfect shot grew into designing brochures, catalogues, and print ads, eventually transforming into a full-fledged ad agency. As the digital age dawned, I embraced coding—back when HTML was the only tool—and built a deep expertise in web development.

After selling my business, I joined a top payment processing company as their “marketing guy,” handling websites, trade shows, advertising, social media, and digital strategies. With my coding skills, I also took on a Senior Developer role, working in TCL, XML, C, C++, PHP, JavaScript, and MySQL. Following an acquisition by a 140+ year old company, I moved into marketing leadership as Art Director, then Creative Director, and later bridged creative, branding, and digital marketing for a cohesive public image.

Today, I’m a senior leader in web operations, guiding teams on technology, branding, international site management, development, design, and AI integration. But my heart lies with dreamers, startups, and small businesses—because I’ve walked in your shoes.
