He was the original Phanatic, and his vision and performance skill spawned a revolution in the mascot industry. The personality that Dave created has entertained over 20 million people and his design thinking led to a multi-million-dollar brand extension for the Philadelphia Phillies and the city of Brotherly Love. After he left the Phillies in 1993, he has done the same for some of the largest companies in the US and around the world.   Using the Phanatic as his muse, David created a theory called the Power of Fun!® that if harnessed will make you happier, healthier and more productive. “I studied, unknowingly, under a true master of fun! The Phillie Phanatic taught me how valuable fun is and why all of us should strive to use fun as a powerful tool to combat life challenges and learn how to be happier. The Power of Fun can change your life!” Dave is a highly sought-after keynote speaker, author and brand consultant. His work has been highlighted on NBC Nightly News, HBO, NPR, ESPN, The New York Times and the Tonight Show.
