About me
"Think big, dream hard, dare to be different!"Dave Whiffen is from Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
Dave originally taught himself to write code at the age of nine. After teaching himself web design and Flash animation, Dave built Gamelovers.ca, a gaming website where he and others made Flash animated series, games, and web comics.
By 2004, Gamelovers had accrued over removed unique visitors, and Dave managed a staff of almost a dozen artists producing content for the website.
In 2007, Dave’s interest shifted towards film production. After several years of producing and editing freelance projects, Dave made ‘Singularity, a feature-length film. The film premiered in 2010, with all proceeds donated to the ‘HOPE’ charity.
In 2010, Dave was accepted to Ryerson University’s Radio and Television (Media Production) program, and he began classes that fall. Dave won two program-specific awards in that time, including his first year film ‘Time and Again’, and for ‘Hunting Season’, a 2012 film. Dave graduated in 2015.
In 2014, Dave earned an internship with CBC and Hockey Night in Canada, where he worked as a Program Assistant, shot-listing video, editing segments, and conducting research for the broadcast.
In 2013, Dave was hired as Statistician for the Ryerson University Men’s Hockey Team, working under head coach Graham Wise. Wise was brought over to Ryerson from York to help turn Ryerson’s hockey team into a perennial contender.
Over six seasons, Dave has built his own video and analytics systems for the team from the ground up. Some applications include team applications, puck possession and ice-time applications, video coaching-specific applications, and pre-scout applications.
In the summers, Dave works as a construction worker and a renovator on various projects, including the Bloomington Go Station project.
