Dave Stanton is a design researcher, prototyper, and delivery lead. He explores the possibilities of human-to-human and human-to-computer interactions.

Dave earned his Ph.D. from the University of Florida while collaborating with The Poynter Institute on several eye-tracking studies investigating web design, tablet storytelling, photo captions, and user-generated content. He collaborated with Northwestern University, PBS NewsHour, and the American Press Institute to create prototypes exploring new ways for social dynamics to empower news literacy. As a consultant, he has served as the technical lead and design advisor on mobile, web, and voice projects for Weight Watchers, CVS, Chick-fil-A, Johnson & Johnson, Reebok, and others. 

He has presented at conferences across industries and continents including SXSW, MozFest, SRCCON, SND, NAHJ, ONA, AEJMC, SPJ, FSPA, as well as numerous workshops organized by SND, The Poynter Institute, the National Science Foundation.

He strives to help young professionals explore their passions through mentorship, coaching, and networking. If elected, he will strive to increase opportunities for young professionals to be involved with SND as well as to find avenues for mid-career journalists to expand their skillsets.

Dave will help SND hold true to traditional design values while exploring new platforms to expand how we tell stories, improve how we convey empathy, and increase the public trust in news. 

quick proof notes

• "coaching, networking and other types of advisement" is missing an oxford comma, which it looks like you're using throughout
• "increase opportunities for young professional" probably should be plural

Tons to like in here, Dave. I dig it.
A few small things leap out at me:
-- Line 7: typo? should it be "young professionals" in the second sentence?
-- Line 7: "greatest passion is helping young professionals explore their passions" -- I might find a word other than "passion" in one of those instances instead of using it twice. Maybe something like "helping young professionals realize their ambitions" or "helping young professionals turn their enthusiasm into experience and growth" or ... something.
-- Line 7: You mention a "primary goal" in the second sentence and then list two things. Also: is your "primary goal" different from your "greatest passion"? Seems like probably not -- there is consistency here -- so perhaps instead of "primary goal" something like "If elected, his twin goals" or "If elected, he will focus intently on"

@ryanpitts @thejqs Thank you for the feedback! I cleaned it up a little bit.
