Dave was a student who turned his ADD and Dyslexia into the motivation to achieve more. He overcame those obstacles to become known for his memory techniques and reading prowess and become a two-time Guinness World Record-holder for the Greatest Memory. He is one of the foremost experts in the field of memorization and the most requested expert interviewee on the topics of memory enhancement techniques and learning disabilities.
For over 15 years, Dave has taught students, business people and many others how to focus, strengthen memory power, speed-read, overcome obstacles and strengthen leadership skills. He brings the experience of his successes and challenges to his audiences, showing them what it really takes to get the life they deserve.
Dave was diagnosed with learning disabilities while in high school. He was singled out, told not to expect much out of life, and labeled as ‘not college material.’ That motivated Dave to discover everything he could about how his mind worked and how he could overcome these challenges. After two years of work he improved his grades, but teachers were certain that he was cheating.
It was then that Dave discovered the powerful principle of limiting beliefs! The teachers believed that he couldn’t become a top student. He’d changed his grades but he still had to change the beliefs of his teachers. That’s when he began teaching other students the techniques he had developed.
Dave was so successful that his teachers reversed their original beliefs about him (all but one who held out until long after Dave had graduated and achieved a Guinness World Record!)
Official Spokesperson for Sony’s Reader Revolution!
Dave Farrow served as the ‘designated reader’ in a Manhattan storefront on Fifth Avenue at 39th Street, reading digital books on a Sony Reader around the clock for 30 days. For each page he read, Sony provided an eBook library of 100 classic titles to a school or learning institution.
In his 30 day stretch (taking bathroom and meal breaks and sleeping on a cot in full view), Dave read 44,097 pages! That’s 44,097 e-book libraries donated. In all, Dave read 102 books. That’s 10 years of reading for the average person!
Over 100,000,000 people logged on to view Dave living in a downtown Manhattan storefront window. Dave was hired by Sony to be their spokesperson for the Sony Reader and complete a reading marathon. The purpose was to raise awareness for National Literacy Month and promote electronic reading. For each page read an eLibrary was given to a school in America. Dave’s month end total was over 44,000 pages.
Dave also credits his memory techniques with helping him start 3 successful companies:
- Wizardtech Inc. – a corporate training company that teaches professionals across North America how to perform at very high levels.
- Accella Scientific Inc., – a nano-biotech company based on his own research. He used his own memory power techniques to become a self-taught expert in nanotechnology.
- PD Marketing – a marketing and products sales firm for Dave’s training products.
Dave is also an expert speaker at nano-tech and scientific conferences nationwide and was recently asked by Johnson and Johnson to speak to their research division on the topic of memory in the high tech field.
He has spoken to members of the White House Task Force on Nanotechnology; and his device and patent applications were featured in nano-tech’s most popular industry magazine, The Small Times. He is currently involved in a U.S. patent filing for a medical testing device that will change the way HIV is tested in developing countries.
Dave is an Expert in Memorization Techniques. He studied memory techniques and developed powerful techniques of his own out of necessity. He used those techniques to become a successful student, businessman and speaker. Today, he is considered one of the foremost experts on mental training. His quest for applicable knowledge has lead him to be recognized for his memory programs, speed reading programs, programs for children with learning disabilities, memory competitions and more!
