David Dupree, MBA
CEO Archer Consulting
My name is David Dupree. In addition to being the CEO of Archer, I serve as the Chief Operating Officer for Contend Consulting in Pennsylvania. At Contend, our mission is to help retiring professional athletes, particularly NFL players, transition to small business ownership. Inspired by my life in Alachua County, I founded Archer Business Consulting to apply Contend's principles locally, supporting small businesses in achieving greater success. Your entrepreneurial efforts are vital to our community's vibrancy. Currently, I live on a farm with my wife, enjoying the flexibility of working both remotely and throughout Florida.
I hold an MBA from Penn State and a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Management from Santa Fe College. Six years ago, I transitioned into consulting after over 20 years in operational management with the New York Times Company and Halifax Media Group. Additionally, I have owned several local businesses in North Florida over the past two decades.
I offer consulting services across all stages of a company's development, from startup and operations to new product and market development, as well as addressing profitability challenges. Through my work with Contend, I have honed my skills as a marketing specialist. Currently, I serve as the Director of Brand Management for former Pittsburgh Steeler and Buffalo Bill, Arthur Moats, overseeing his media and online presence. Our primary focus is on developing growth strategies for our YouTube channels.
I have built a fantastic network of accountants, engineers, financial advisors, and HR specialists, enabling me to offer a diverse range of services across various industries. We collaborate with single owner/operators as frequently as with companies that have hundreds of employees. Contact us today to see how we can assist you. Thank you!
