We had the good fortune of connecting with David Reece and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
I am from New York City and I have lived in 4 of the 5 boroughs. Growing up in New York City and being raised by a single Mom with no brothers or sisters helped me to understand the work ethic that is needed to survive. As a degreed Electrical Engineer, I was empowered to set examples to encourage others to make a difference. I worked at a major telecom company and received a US Patent for the development of a LASER Focus Tracking System. Because of my willingness to give back, I became a college Radio station Disc Jockey and encouraged are youth to be better. I have been in several technology programs, From Cyber Security to Community Relations. I thank GOD everyday for what he has allowed me to do and I am eager to give back to help others grow and be the best that I can be.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would first take them to Sistrunk to show them the history of the South Florida Community from an Afro-American perspective, I would show them the African Research Library and then share with them some great restaurants in the community. I would recommend a sporting event. Share with them some events. I would invite them to my Church and a networking event with our business and non-profit community
