What kids really want
---------------------

"David may just be one of the more useful speakers I've heard in a long while."
Jim F - Marketing Director

David remembers the dinner conversations when he was a kid. They ranged from the problems and opportunities of CEOs to the politics of the day and the never ending upheaval in the world. Religion was fair game. Freud got worked over on a regular basis. Einstein was relative. Everything was open for discussion and he was invited to join in as an honored peer.

David remembers snatches of those conversations with absolute clarity even today and swears they've had an impact on who he has become. "It had to have an impact." Says David. "Pop had a weight advantage."

David followed a normal course of general education studies

has gone on to have a satisfying career as a "sax man", focusing on the bari and alto sax..

His love of the outdoors and camping led him to work with the Boy Scouts for a time, both at their regional camp as well as back with a local troop in his community. "I got a kick out of working with the younger guys," he says, "because they learned so much so quickly."

Those early experiences got David interested in what makes kids tick, and he's spent the rest of his life studying that very question up close and personal.

His bird's eye view of today's youth culture has great usefulness to
xxx - parents,
xxx- educators and
xxx- marketers;
and David has been a popular resource for Webster University's MBA program, and the local music world in Orlando, Florida.

Now days, David splits his time between courting the ladies, worrying about the cure for cancer and pondering peace in the Middle East. "I'm not sure I'm a Renaissance Man yet." He says. "But I'm growing that way. And it all got its start at my family's kitchen table."

Yeh, David remembers. Of course -it wasn't that long ago.
You see, David is 15.

"He floored me. Period."
