David D'Orazi

David F. D'Orazi hails from the Los Angeles suburb of Eagle Rock, which is where he became part of his father' Tony's story in 1949. As a third child of this influential artist-turned radio and television star, who ultimately became an award winning salesman, David proclaims that his father played a huge role in shaping him into the successful saleman that he eventually became.

From his first job delivering newspapers at the age of nine, which his father would often assist him with, to his decades as a record setting salesman, David now attributes his success to his father. In fact , when he was young, he remembers people telling him that Tony, David's dad, was such an incredible salesman, he could sell ice to an Eskimo.

Before his mother passed in 2011, she gave David his father's personal journals and scrapbooks which he promised to compile into a book someday in order to immortialize Tony's story.

An avid reader, especially of motivational and sales related books, David combined his memories, along with the contents of his father's notebooks and scrapbooks since the ealy 1920's,to create this biography which he hopes will impact the lives of those who read it, as much as it did his own.

An alumnus of UC Irvine where he earned a biology degree, as well as a master of business from California State University, Los Angeles, David still resides in the Los Angeles Area. It is there that he continues to avidly sell, read and perform magic at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and now write. His next biography will be about his sister, Kathy D'Orazi (aka Kathy O'dare) who was an actress, and costar with Ronnie Howard on the orignial Pilot show of the world famous TV show "Happy Days".
