A graduate of Bowling Green State University and veteran of the fast-paced, high-pressured entertainment industry of Hollywood and New York, his message is real, experienced and simple: Good Humor can increase productivity, relieve stress, and build better relationships. This concept is also behind the business courses he designed and instructs at Cleveland State University, (yes - he really is the nutty professor!).

The author of two weekly columns on comedy, (of course), and music, his reviews, interviews, and behind the scenes exclusives have included entertainers such as Paul McCartney, Bill Cosby, Britney Spears, Ray Romano, Garth Brooks and many others. His syndicated humor column, Something To Laugh About, was awarded First Prize by The Ohio Newspaper Association for Best Original Column in 2005. Tired of making his hometown a vacation spot every year, Dave relocated from Hollywood to Northern Ohio. He currently lives on the South Shore of Lake Erie, (North Coast of Ohio), with his wife, Debutante Deb, sons Chaos Kevin and Dangerous Paul, and a large dog named Snickers who is fond of eating television remote controls. |
