Everything about Daves4Life! — where it came from, who built it, and why Daves deserve their own corner of the internet.

What Is This?

Daves4Life! is a fun, lighthearted humor website that celebrates everything Dave — the name, the legend, and the 10.9 million Americans who carry it. There are pages dedicated to the origin of the name, the personality traits that define a Dave, the famous ones who made the name great, and the long-standing debate between Daves and Davids. There is also merch. Very good merch.

The Origin Story

In 2009, a Dave came back to the office fridge to find one of his drinks missing. In a moment that was, admittedly, very un-Dave-like, he stretched a piece of blue tape across the remaining bottles and the empty space where the stolen one had been, and wrote four simple words: "Is your name Dave?" It was his way of saying these are mine. As luck would have it, the person who took the bottle was also a Dave. He left a sticky note that said it all: "Yes! My name is Dave! Thanks for the free drink! Daves 4 Life!!!" A photo of the note was originally posted to passiveaggressivenotes.com, the internet lost its mind, and the Daves4Life! nation was born.

Who Made This?

This site was designed and built by Dave, an award-winning product and graphic designer. The D4L! Nation deserved something that looks as good as the name Dave sounds and of course it took a Dave to pull it off.

The Merch

The Daves4Life! Nation needed official gear. The merch shop is powered by Shopify and features graphic tees designed around the lore — Dave's Café, Davepalooza, Cities of Dave, Big Wave Dave's Surf Shop, and more. All printed on demand and shipped direct. No Mikes were involved in the design, production, or fulfillment of any product.
