As the owner of six franchises, Dave understands the challenges and rewards of choosing the franchise life. He currently serves as an Area Developer with Salons by JC and owns six SBJC franchises: four in the Nashville, TN, area; one in Huntsville, AL; and one in Sarasota, FL.
Raised in a family of successful entrepreneurs, Dave worked for more than 20 years as a marketing executive for Ford and Mazda, where he led the “Zoom-Zoom” and “Ford: Powered by You” rebrands. Looking for a more sustainable lifestyle and greater professional freedom, he made the switch to small-business leadership and franchising in 2011.
Choosing the franchise life is a weighty decision, but Dave approaches it with a calm, rational perspective. He both understands the differences between corporate and franchise work and knows how to translate his deep growth and operational experience into a successful path forward for franchisees.
A coach and mentor at heart, Dave is focused on helping others fulfill their true potential. His goal is to help you make the best choice for yourself, your work, and your family – he succeeds when you succeed. He looks forward to showing you how you can empower yourself, your future, and your wealth through franchising!
Dave lives in Nashville with his wife Lauri. They have two children of their own and a daughter-in-law: Hank, a Tulane Law School graduate, his wife and fellow lawyer Olivia, and Annabel, who works in architecture. In Dave and Lauri’s spare time, they stay busy renovating their mid-century home, corralling their golden retriever, and planning visits with their family. Dave’s favorite place in the world is the coast of Maine, where his extended family has been spending summer vacations for almost 50 years.
