Dave Prickett

As Administrative Director for OPTIZMO for the past 7 years, David has enjoyed growing with the company from its start. He has over 27 years of business development experience in the recycling, energy, casino, marketing and real estate industries. Dave has also owned, operated, and funded seven of his own businesses.

David invests his free time practicing the martial art, Aikido and in building & teaching about natural, affordable, sustainable housing. He has served on the Board of Directors for two non-profits and two for-profit companies, as well. What he’s come to believe is that living the adventure is so much more important than working all the time and just talking about living the adventure.

Fun Fact: David is literally a life saver. On his first day at his first job out of college, it was a company picnic. As he sat at a picnic table with a big group of his new co-workers, the guy across the table started choking. No one else at the table moved. David calmly walked around the table, executed the heimlich and got the guy breathing again. Now that’s how you make a first impression at your new job. Why none of the other co-workers wanted to help is an open question to this day.
