Dave Shields

Aquilifer's principal, Dave Shields, graduated with a first-class degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from York University in Toronto in 1976. First class is a designation used by York to indicate an A average. As luck would have it, Dave was not to find work in the computer field, and ended up working in Industrial Engineering and Production Management positions with companies such as Sonoco, Canadian Comfort Insulation, K&K Machines, and TRW.

In 1982, while at TRW, Dave bought his first computer, an Atari 800 with a disc drive. Shortly thereafter, he founded Zoez Software.

That single week inspired Dave to become a web designer. In early 1998 he founded Aquilifer to create web sites full time.

He has been developing web sites for clients ever since. Since 1998, the Internet has changed radically and Dave has been challenged and busy adapting to and mastering all the new technologies. He is still keeping up.
