I came to know Dave Seljestad around 2005. During what felt at the time like the absolute worst years of my life. I was 150lbs overweight, depressed, and drunk A LOT. A functional asshole digesting everyone else’s grief and sinking under the weight of victimhood. Dave welcomed me into his arms as my Dad introduced us, “This is LA.” Dave immediately said, “LALA!” The childhood nickname I’d all but forgotten about. That kid was still buried somewhere deep inside me and looked up when he called my name.
Dave is the best!🙏🏽
