Dave Kelly will energize
and excite your audience with his humorous stories and real-life
experiences.
They will laugh as they learn how they
can immediately go out and apply at least three of Dave’s principles
right away to make their life, work, hobbies — in fact, everything
they do — more successful and enjoyable!
Dave has been delighting
audiences ever since he was a state champion storyteller in high
school.
He has inspired and entertained people
as an actor, stand-up comedian, writer, and speaker all the while
working through careers as a lobbyist, bill collector, and mortgage
broker.
He realized a life long dream several
years ago when he launched his successful professional speaking
career and he has been on fire ever since.
He
was even a finalist for the 2006 APCA Speaker of the Year Award!
Dave has developed his
own leadership skills, philosophies, and programs through his
experiences as a student and community leader, multi-state business
owner, and influential voice for companies and associations all
across
North America.
He served as president of a 14,000
member international student organization, Circle K International,
while in school at the
University
of Wisconsin-Oshkosh
and continued his involvement with the organization as
a member of
Kiwanis.
From 1998-2007, Dave served as the
District Administrator for the Georgia District of Circle K
International, a volunteer position, where he tripled the number of
active charters and members in the state, earning him eight
consecutive
Distinguished District Administrator
awards from Circle K International - a record in the organization’s
history. (more about Dave's History in the
Kiwanis Family)
As a businessman, Dave
founded a multi-state mortgage company in 1989 and served as
President and Senior Loan Officer until 1999.
The company had offices simultaneously
in Atlanta,
GA;
Huntsville,
AL;
Greenville,
SC;
Charlotte,
NC;
and
Greensboro,
NC.
Dave left in 1999 due to a business
disagreement: his partner was stealing from him and Dave didn’t want
him to!
Dave’s success and knowledge in the
industry led him to serve for ten years on the board of directors of
the Georgia Equity Lender’s Association, including two years as
president. (more

Dave is a BIG Green Bay
Packers fan and is even an owner of the team!
He roots for his beloved Pack each week
in his Brett Favre jersey and waits for his turn to move up on the
season ticket waiting list…he is currently #43,056!
This and other stories are all true and
Dave shares them in a way to make your audience laugh, think, and
learn from his experiences.
Dave brings his
experiences, his successes, his failures, his challenges, and his
victories to audiences in a fun way that teaches and entertains.
The best investment you will ever make
