Dave's Story

Life Recently, when talking with friends, I realized that I have all that i've ever wanted. Funny thing, I just never knew that this is what I wanted. I was lucky enough to turn a college bartending gig (Duquesne University) into a marketing career with TGI Friday. Eventually I was the assistant director of Marketing for TGI Friday's Front Row Sports Grill and Italianni's concepts. My job was beautiful. I took franchise investors to Disney World and made sure that the restaurnats were full and profitable. I left the company in '97 because I was tired of moving and became a beach bum. I even ran a Gap (talk about hell- but it was on the beach. Try selling down parkas to drunk spring breakers in Speedos). Then I got my Real Estate Brokers license and affiliated with a Luxury Boutique Brokerage that was soon purchased by Coldwell Banker. Then I joined a great company- -Keller Williams Realty. I started my own team and we have a great dynamic. It frees me up to be with the customers and do what I do best; bring buyers and sellers together. I was lucky enough to fall into a vein of the industry that deals with an affluent clientele but I honestly enjoy the $200,000 condo as well. My partner Ted Scouten and I live in Hollywood, Fl which is on the coast between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. While the traffic is impossible and the language barriers are often laughable, is is a wonderful place to live and it is hard to have a bad day with all of this sunshine! If you ever feel low ...Expand for more
it is great to be able to bike down to the beach and watch the waves. We are curretly looking for a vacation home in Palm Springs, California so we can enjoy both the calm serenity of the ocean and the achient mysticism of the desert. Ted is a coorespondent for CBS news here in Miami and travels extensively. You may have seen him standing in a Hurricane on the Evening News or the Weather Channel or dodging sniper bullets in DC. We have recently become empty nesters as we were raising his sister's teenagers. If you haven't gone through it yet, call me and I will laugh at you as i sip a martini! So here I am, completely in a different place from the life that I had planned. No law school or my own advertising agncy but rather a empty nester. But I have what I want: a remarkable person to love who loves me back, incredible friends, a family that not only is supportive and loving but getting younger as they age! Yeah, I have been fortunate enough to work hard play hard. But as I have seen in some Hurricane devistation enjoy what you have now because things can go away fast. It is the love and joy that stay and that is what we should all want. I would love to hear from classmates and start a data base so we can have a killer reunion and maybe even start some new friendships. As you may have guessed, I am still a writer. Nothing as prolific as our senior class prophecy but some great semi-autobiographical tales and observations of things that can only happen in South Florida.
