Dave answers these questions and more. He also tells some interesting and often funny stories about Elvis that you may not have heard before. Dave shares great times and outrageous experiences with the man who was not only the greatest entertainer who ever lived, but also one of the best persons.

“Elvis fans are the most amazing people that I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.” — Dave

Dave has gone “on tour” with various Elvis Tribute Artists (ETAs) primarily in Europe. Dave saw Elvis perform live, up close and personal countless times on stage and is certainly qualified to judge the moves and mannerisms of ETAs as they perform to an enthusiastic audience. He has also done a number of personal appearances at various Elvis-related conventions and festivals in the USA, Canada, and Europe.

Dave teaches Kenpo workshops for men, women, and children of all ages. He also teaches proactive demonstrations for martial artists, law enforcement and security officers, and military personnel. Dave’s lectures, hands-on workshops, personal training courses and books are excellent ways to learn the art of self-defense.

From public appearances, conventions, and interviews, Dave makes countless appearances every year. As an accomplished orator, Dave shares his stories about Elvis, how he became his bodyguard and karate instructor, life on tour, the crazy things the ladies would do during concerts, the big “drug bust,” the lady Ninja, the gaudy bauble, the kid with watches, and more. He’s a wealth of fun and intrigue for any audience.
