David Eliason

Owner of Dick & Jane’s Naughty Spot

David opened Dick & Jane’s Naughty Spot in Sturgis, South Dakota in 2010, adding a second store in Rapid City in 2018. With more than 25 years in adult retail, he has watched the industry change and has worked to keep his stores strong and community-minded.

His commitment to advocacy comes from personal experience. David fought and won several federal lawsuits after local municipalities tried to close his stores. He also focuses on helping his staff build stable and fulfilling careers.

David serves on the leadership committee of the Sexual Wellness Professionals Alliance (SWPA), where he works closely with both retailers and manufacturers. This helps him bring a balanced perspective that connects the pleasure products side of the industry with the broader content-creation community. “I would be deeply honored to serve an industry that has given so much to me and to contribute to its continued growth, integrity, and success.’"
