Thriving Brain® Team Biographies

David O. Eastman

Dave brings a quiet reflection to the operational side of the Thriving Brain®. His varied background includes Information Technology, business management, real estate investment and development, commercial and residential construction, auto mechanics, farming and maintenance.

The largest share of Dave's background is Information Technology management, spanning over two decades, mostly as a Regional Chief Information Officer, overseeing a staff of nearly forty in up to five hospitals across three states. During that time he introduced organizational development efforts that were embraced by a number of departments outside his own.

Dave has since leveraged that IT background into web and video production through Eastman Creations. He has filmed, edited, and produced numerous video projects, plus designed and developed two dozen web sites and published various books, both hardcopy and electronic "Kindle" books. Over two dozen DVDs and books he created are for sale on Amazon and other websites.

Out of college, Dave spent his first five years in construction. Since then he has kept his hand in various construction projects, covering nearly every aspect, including carpentry, painting, wallpapering, drywall, electrical, plumbing, tile, glass, and on the exterior, landscaping, decks, fences, and benches. He has a good eye for balance, color and design, and is insistent on quality construction. David's real estate investing has ranged from a four-plex, to a five duplexes surrounding a private lake, to an 18 unit-apartment. When an apartment or income property needs renovating, Dave is the go-to guy.

Dave understands the importance of customer service and the key role staff play in a quality product. He is able to build a loyalty most managers don't comprehend.

He has a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Arts and a minor in Business.

In his spare time, Dave rides and tweaks his Harley Davidson motorcycles. He is found keeping fit in the gym, water skiing and snow skiing.
