Who is David Pitlyuk? First you need to know how to say my last name. It’s not as hard as it looks, it’s pronounced “Pit-Luck”. But, since I know it’s still confusing, my blog is DavePit.com.

I started my first real business at the age of 16 (1996), it was a website called SystemLogic.net. My biggest hobby at the time was computers, so I decided to review hardware and put my thoughts online. Throughout the 4 years I went through a lot of changes and learned a lot of things…I wasn’t doing something your average 16 year old was up to. Eventually the site changed its name to SLCentral.com, and by 2002 I was ready to move on to my next endeavor. I sold the site to a guy who lived in the UK, although I wish I held onto it longer as I think it would be worth some major change by now. By that time it was generating over 1 million pageviews a month, and had survived the dot com crash.

Now that I was a little older, I started to get into cars. I picked up a 2003 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE and immediately started to toy with it. It was during this time when I was an active member of a forum called Altimas.net that I had met my soon-to-be business partner for my next venture. After a short period of time we had remotely launched ActiveTuning, a manufacturer of aftermarket parts for Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. What do I mean by remotely? My business partner lives in Wisconsin, and I live halfway across the country in Virginia. We had almost gone a year with the business before ever even speaking on the phone. This is the true power of the internet. Although it is part-time, the company has been successful in my eyes. More importantly, I have learned and developed so much based on my experiences and through the people I’ve met.

Since then, I’ve launched a parent company by the name of dpitMedia, LLC.  My core business now is a site that specializes in everything carbon fiber.  Carbon Fiber Gear.

I’m a huge car enthusiast, and you’ll see that I tend to write about a lot of car-related topics on here. I’ve had a decent number of vehicles in my young life, which you can see the progression of here. My latest toy is a Dodge Viper GTS:

This blog is about my life adventure. I will not only be posting about my businesses, but also about my life, my interests, the people I care about and more. I hope that some of the things I post on here are helpful, inspirational, and of interest to you.
