Dave Mirgon's entrepreneurial journey reveals how a lifelong desire to help others evolved into creating spaces where businesses and people flourish. As the co-founder of Brickhouse Blue, Dave brings the same philosophy to coworking that made his youth basketball program a national success: building excellence brick by brick.

"I was always thinking what else do I want to do while helping these people," Dave explains, reflecting on his 20-year corporate recruiting career. This question led him and business partner Cid Romberg to launch Brickhouse Blue in 2016, creating environments where entrepreneurs could escape everyday constraints and think differently. The name itself carries rich symbolism—"brick" representing methodical building and solid foundations, while "blue" signifies innovation, expansive thinking, and limitless possibilities.

What sets Brickhouse Blue apart from typical coworking spaces is their deliberate approach to creating community. "A lot of spaces just plug and play. It's a current space, paint the walls, slap some furniture in there, put somebody at the front desk and let's hope it works. That's just not who we are," Dave emphasizes. This attention to both physical environment and human experience has fueled their expansion to four locations, with more on the horizon in Hilliard, Lancaster, and potentially downtown Columbus.

The recent partnership with Innovate New Albany represents a perfect synergy, combining Brickhouse Blue's expertise in creating productive environments with Innovate New Albany's established programming for technology startups. Meanwhile, Dave's parallel success with Midwest Basketball Club—growing from one team to nearly 200 across multiple states—demonstrates how his brick-by-brick philosophy creates sustainable growth whether in business or youth development.
