What do you do for a living?
I own SEXTOY.com, one of the largest distributors of adult products on the internet since 1995. The company name is Convergence Inc.
95% of our revenue come from us running the backend for other companies. We have one of the largest affiliate networks, drop ship programs, and wholesale divisions for adult products on the internet.
What do your parents think?
When I told my parents about my business back in 1995 my mother was worried about what she would tell her friends and my father was concerned I couldn't make enough sales on this "internet thing". Now my mother is giving out vibrators to her friends and my father is no longer worried about me supporting myself.
What are your best sellers?
The best seller by volume is my vibrating bullet. We get most of our sextoy revenue from dildos and rabbits.
Where did you get the name Sex Toy Dave?
In 2004 I bought a house up in the hollywood hills and immediately started throwing parties every saturday night. I did that for eight months straight often giving away free sextoys to guests. I remember seeing people on cell phones calling friends to come to "Dave's house" . . . "Dave who?" . . . "You know,. . . Sex Toy Dave".
Where are you from?
Born 5/6/68 and I grew up in a suburb north of Boston called Lynnfield Ma. I went to University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and graduated in 1990. I then lived in Tokyo Japan teaching English and learning to speak Japanese for one year and then NYC for one year (about my NYC job). Then I moved back to Boston and worked for my father for 2 years. In late 1994, I started Convergence Inc. Since I work from home, I was able to upgrade my lifestyle by moving to Hollywood in 2002.
Were you on Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo?
Yes, I was on Millionaire Matchmaker. Originally I was interested in reality shows because it is good promotion for my business, but I am also sincerely looking for a girl friend that I can eventually start a family with. I was skeptical that I would meet the woman of my dreams through a TV show, but I was open minded and gave it a chance.
The relationship with the girl from the show did not last . . . the search continues.
