Dave Miller, D.A.V.E. Founder/CFO, Announces Retirement

 SAN FRANCISCO — Direct Advantage Values Enterprise says farewell to founder Dave Miller after more than 25 years.

Miller founded D.A.V.E. after having built relationships with vendors in Asia and was successful in importing adult toy staples such as the One-Touch vibrating bullet. He also played an integral role in modifying the design of the multi-speed dildo to feature an electric speed controller at the base of each cylindrical battery-operated vibrator.

“I wish to thank the many leaders of the industry with whom I have worked over the decades for their joint efforts with my activities,” Miller said.

Current D.A.V.E owner Bob Wolf purchased the company from Miller several years ago with Miller staying on board as CFO and company mentor. The two men continued to build D.A.V.E. and expand into manufacturing Synergy Erotic.
