About These Works

These publications represent different aspects of David's expertise and experience in the technology industry. The Stocks & Options guide emerged from years of advising startup founders and employees on equity compensation, while The MP3 Book captures a pivotal moment in digital media history.

Both works reflect David's commitment to sharing knowledge and helping others navigate complex technical and business landscapes. The MP3 Book, though unfinished, provides valuable historical perspective on the early days of digital music distribution and the birth of peer-to-peer file sharing.
