David's Story
Life
Life is good! I was raised to work hard, and play even harder! I still crank out about 60 hours per week at work, but I also tend to take 10 weeks off a year. My down time is spent volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America (my son is an Eagle Scout) and The Adaptive Adventure Sports Colation, a great non-profit that provides opportunities for peole with disabilities (physical and developmental) to enage in adventure sports. I am on the Board of Directors and also serve as a Program Director and Certified Instructor for their kayaking program and as a volunteer in theire alpine skiing and water skiing program.
As many of you know, I married Beth Dodds (WHS '79) back in '84. We have two wonderful children, Alex is 17 and starting his senior year at Dublin Coffman, Emily is 15 and will be transferring to Dublin Jerome from a small private school.
As a parent I have probably faced many of the same issues that you may have with your own children, primarily convinc...Expand for more
ing them that even though mom and dad grew up in the 70's, doing the crazy things we did won't fly. As a kid it sure was great having parents who were naive about what all was going on back in thsoe days! As a parent, I wish I was more naive. Oh well.
Work: I tried to avoid the Real Estate business, but after five years as a semi-starving artist, I decided that my father was a bit smarter than I gave him credit for in my early days. Twenty years later here I am in Commercial Real Estate. My brother Steve (WHS '74) and I own Commercial One Realtors, Steve runs the brokerage division and I run the Property Management division.
I do not nescessarily love what I do every day, but real estate has been very good to teh Holzer family.
Hey, I gotta go, I will add more to this later.
Take care.
Workplace
