In May 2019, Dave launched the @WashingtonPost TikTok. The channel found immediate success on TikTok and in the D.C. Twittersphere. Over six years, it grew to become the Washington Post Universe, with 1.9 million followers on TikTok and 680K on YouTube Shorts. He won eight Webby Awards for his work, including ‘Best Creator’ multiple times. He also wrote a book, ‘Make A TikTok Every Day.'

In July 2025, he left the Washington Post, along with two fellow colleagues, to launch Local News International. He is now overseeing a rapidly growing audience on his own accounts on TikTok and YouTube, as well as a quickly growing newsletter.
