Join us October 14 for our guest speaker, David Wecker (meeting time, location, and zoom registration below).
David Wecker tells stories for a living.
As a columnist for more than 20 years for The Cincinnati Post, The Kentucky Post and the Scripps News Service, David wrote stories about ordinary people in a way that revealed what was extraordinary about them.
For 16 of those years, David was also head concept writer at The Eureka Ranch, where he wrote more than 5,000 concepts for new products, services and marketing strategies for Fortune 500 clients including the Walt Disney Co., the Ford Motor Co., Johnson & Johnson and scores of others.
If you look up his name on Amazon, the titles of a half-dozen books will pop up. They include “Spinning Beneath My Feet,” an account of a North Pole expedition for which he served as base camp manager, “Mastering the Universe: He-Man & the Rise and Fall of a Billion-Dollar Idea,” a chronicle of the 1980s male action figure David’s uncle created for Mattel, and two books co-authored with Eureka Ranch founder Doug Hall. David’s most recent book, “Square Pegs: Stories about Everything and Nothing,” is an anthology of his columns that were distributed nationally by the Scripps News Service.
His broadcast experience includes creating and co-hosting “Brain Brew,” a national weekly radio program aimed at solving small business challenges, and “The Backyard Barbecue,” a weekly humor/talk show parody.
As founder and president of BrandFlick, David’s work these days focuses on storytelling that connects, using video as its platform.
David and wife, Karen, live in a 200-year-old restored log home in rural Campbell County, Kentucky. David has two offspring, Sam and Betsy. Betsy is expecting to present him with his first grandchild, a girl, in the fall of 2023. David is a not-so-great gardener, a guitarist in his church band and curator of his own private ossuary.
