Aves Studio Founder and CEO Dave Brummel is, at heart, a showman. In another life, he might have donned a top hat, epaulets, and a whip as the ringmaster in The Greatest Show on Earth. His enthusiasm is infectious. He always has a story or two on the ready.
Brummel is also an extraordinary entrepreneur, a self-made man in the old-world sense. He is someone who rolled up his sleeves, got his hands dirty and built his business from the ground up — and out of clay, for that matter.
For that, Aves Studio won the St. Croix Economic Development Corporations’ 2023 Small Business of the Year Award.
