A familiar face to Northwest audiences on stage or on TV, he has a long list of credits including winning the first Seattle Laugh-off in 1980. David has become one of the most sought after charity auctioneers in the Seattle area. His ability to entertain and raise money makes for a very different auction experience. He has also entertained corporate groups for years as a ‘mock’ expert, giving talks on everything from quality control, to horse breeding and sand sprinklers. His powers of bafflement keep people guessing right up to the reveal. As a corporate emcee, David has kept meetings from getting boring with his unique ability to keep the audience engaged. He is most proud of his longest running show, twenty years with his stunning wife Stacya, a force unto herself. DJ Pheloneous DJ Pheloneous has catapulted into the Club, Hip Hop and Radio Scene in the past three years; playing everything from exclusive Mashups to Classic Party-joints, Hip-Hop to Techno, and of course Reggaeton. His versatility has made him a must have for Seattle’s hottest club events at venues such as Ballard Loft, Shelter and The Baltic Room. 2017_Opening_Pages.indd 7 3/20/17 7:25 AM Raffles at the Live Event During the Spotlight Silent Auction & Reception, 100 Best of Live “Charms” and 100 Hawaiian Condo “Tickets” will be sold (look for volunteers walking around with a basket).
