In the mid 90's, while working as a project manager for Physicians Mutual Insurance Company, David conceived the idea of collecting claims data from multiple insurance companies and using this data to identify fraudulent activity. Working closely with the Special Investigation Unit Anti-Fraud Coalition and several insurance companies, David was able to convince insurance companies across the nation to participate in the Fraud Defense Network. He developed the software, integrated the hardware, and launched the All Claims Database. He continued to develop additional applications and eventually added financial institutions, investigators, prosecutors, FBI, and federal and state fraud bureaus into the network.

As an early Internet pioneer, David Shaul developed the concept of vertical site application development. He applied this concept to the Fraud Defense Network whereby creating a broad range of web sites serving separate functions while at the same time, maintaining a central focus.

David eventually sold the Network to Fortune 500 company ChoicePoint Inc. and began his duties as the David ShaulVice President of eCommerce Marketing. Working closely with the Vice President of Business Acquisitions, David evaluated prospect companies in relation to their data content and how that data would be used to enhance ChoicePoint products. Once the company was acquired, David managed the process to roll-out new products or existing product enhancements. This involved the data integration to the data center, programming the new enhancements, creating marketing materials, promoting the new products at trade shows and training ChoicePoint's national sales force on the new products.

Being an avid outdoorsman, following the sale of his company to ChoicePoint, and with a non-compete in place, David moved into the Outdoor Recreation market. He applied this same concept to create the Fish Click Network. This network of over 300 fishing and outdoor related sites, has allowed the growth of the eCommerce web sites to carry over 60,000 Fishing, Hunting, Marine and Camping Products.

With new management in place at Fish Click, the warehouse shipping in 24 hours, David Shaulthe call center operating, and customer service functioning at desired levels, David left to expand upon the vertical site application concept with his current project, the Next Click Network.

David utilized the expanded concept as a basis for the most powerful and effective Internet advertising method available today. The vertical site application concept, devised by David in the 90's, is now practically an Internet standard for Internet advertising networks. The Next Click Network now consists of over 500 web sites and is now a fully self-sufficient operation.

What's next for David Shaul? Time will tell. With his varied background in Project Management, Sales, Business Processes, Computers, and Customer Service, as well as Publci Speaking, David is always on the lookout for new opportunities and challenges.
