Dave Polisky
Dave is originally from Upstate New York.  He has a BA in criminal justice from Brockport State College in Western NY.  He has spent the last 15 years working for various manufacturers in the flooring industry. Dave has lived in lots of places including New York, Cincinnati, and Chicago (where he learned to love the Chicago Cubs—ask him what the secret meaning of CUBS is) working as regional sales manager.  He finally found his way to Tennessee when he was offered a position as V.P. of sales and marketing, and overseeing product development for a company in Northeastern Tennessee.

Tennessee has changed Dave’s life--it is where he met my wife, and now he is a converted Southerner.  (See below for information of Dave’s first date with his wife)  Dave and his wife moved to Chattanooga 2 years ago from the mountains of East Tennessee.  It is the perfect place for Dave and his wife because they like to spend as much of their time as possible enjoying the outdoors—and there are a lot of outdoor activities to enjoy in Tennessee.  Dave worked his way through college as a contractor which has proven to be invaluable experience.  Dave likes to remodel and he is very frugal, so he has been able to do much of the work on their 1950’s home.  The downside for Dave is that things tend to happen to him, so it’s handy that he can fix just about anything that he breaks.  Just ask his wife how they ended up with that new garage door.  

Dave loves sales.   Nothing is more satisfying to him than developing new business with customers, creating winning programs and lasting relationships.  His other passions include spending time with his wife and dogs, working in his yard, cooking, and riding anything with 2-wheels.  The king of the Polisky household is their 14 year old Golden Retriever, Duke.  They also have a lab mix named Buddy, the luckiest homeless little stray you will ever meet.   

Dave’s first actual date with his wife was a Harley ride through the Tennessee Mountains for a dinner date, which ended up being a 60 mile drive home through the pouring rain.  Fortunately for Dave, she had already met Duke, so he was able to get a second date.  Thank goodness for Duke!

My general belief in life is to laugh as often as possible, find the good in everyone, and not take life too seriously.
