Founded by Dave Ward, Ward5000 Digital is the evolution of a journey built on resilience, transformation, and a passion for helping others succeed. With a background in law, entrepreneurship, and over 15 years of experience in digital marketing, Dave understands the challenges that come with trying to balance the demands of growing a business with the complexities of digital marketing.

About Dave
Hi, I’m Dave Ward, founder of Ward5000 Digital, and I’ve spent my life navigating transitions—personally and professionally. From practicing law to running my own businesses, and ultimately embracing the world of digital marketing, I know what it feels like to step outside your comfort zone and reinvent yourself.
I started my career as a real estate and zoning lawyer, but after the 2008 economic crash, I realized I needed more control over my life. I was good at law, but it didn’t give me the freedom I craved. That’s when I pivoted to marketing with a focus on health, which gave me the time and financial flexibility to truly enjoy life on my terms.
Over 15 years, I built a successful online business, but the company I was so loyal to decided to change directions and shifted our business model. This forced me to adapt once again. I didn’t want to return to the corporate world—I wanted to continue building my future, so I turned to digital marketing.
As an entrepreneur, I co-founded Ward5000 Enterprises, Inc., where I learned the ins and outs of marketing, from SEO to content creation to social media strategy. This experience led me to become the Director of Marketing at The WellCrafted Workshop, where I helped other businesses tell their stories and reach new audiences.
Throughout all of this, my passion for outdoor sports has remained a constant. Whether it’s skiing, cycling, triathlons, surfing, or scouting, I’ve always found energy, focus, and inspiration in the great outdoors. My love for these activities shapes my approach to business—constantly pushing myself, embracing challenges, and always striving to grow. Just like in sports, success in business requires training, strategy, and adaptability.
At Ward5000 Digital, I combine my extensive marketing expertise with the mindset I’ve developed through my outdoor pursuits—persistence, strategy, and a love for the journey. I understand the unique challenges small business owners face, and I’m passionate about making digital marketing simple, effective, and accessible for entrepreneurs like you. My goal is to help you grow your business without the stress—just as I’ve learned to grow my own.
