Introduction: Their are great speakers and their are great musical entertainers, but I am one of the few that combines music into my speaking engagements. I am a relaxed speaker able to pull the audiences into my presentations using humor; real life experiences; business experience and more to make the point. I can speak to junior high, high school, college and adult audiences, and have experience in each of those areas. And for events that stretch over an entire day, I am as comfortable announcing a game or acting as MC for the event as I am speaking publicly or performing music for a cocktail hour. Overall, I am able to contribute to the success of your event...and always strive to do so. My life could be considered to be ecclectic. I have been a ski instructor; musician; salesman; vice president; president; CEO; entreprenuer; father; civic leader; youth leader and more. Now, the wisdom collected is fun to tap into and share with others in a helping manner. My greatest joy is inspiring others to think; act and try new things. We all have so much potential, it sometimes just takes encouragement to move through the barriers that block our forward motion.

I have seen Dave Jacobson as a Master of Ceremonies on two occasions and both times he made the event fun; fast moving and entertaining. He is well prepared, in-touch with the organization and members and seems to have a good sense of timing. Dave has a unique way of getting everyone involved in the festivities by mixing his speaking with his musical talents and I would recommend him for any large event that calls for a professional to make the event extra special.

David is an upstanding man with integrity, sound morals and ethics. I would enjoy doing business and being associated anytime with him. He also raised a wonderful son who is a chip off the old block

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Members of my company as well as myself, seek out the newest technologies on a daily basis. We find them before they are even written about, and we seek to find a reason or need to incorpoate them in our services. The company does not bid on programs, we develope them. We stay 1 to 2 years ahead of the competition.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started speaking for the Hugh O'Brien Youth Foundation about 20 years ago. At that time the audience consisted of high school sophomores who exhibited high energy and desire to succeed, and grades were not part of the selection process for those attending...I loved it. I could see that I could make a difference in peoples lives and felt I would be remiss in not doing what I could if asked by others.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Played guitar, sang and was the master of ceremonies for a 250 guest class reunion. I kept everyone active, involved and entertained successfully. I played guitar sang and was the host for a 100 person wedding rehearsal party and dinner. The weather was nice...the event outside...and it was fun for all. I presented a new business process to a large group of marketing professionals. The speech focused on new ways of doing business in a digital world. I had the group participating and very excited as they watched how the new technology could be implemented into their business.
