Entertainment Entrepreneur David Lanning has an extremely diversified entertainment/management background during the last 32 years of his career, which began as one of the most sought after Radio and Night-Club Celebrity Disc Jockeys in the State of Florida, during the late 70's and into the early 80's. While developing his stronghold in the music and entertainment industry in Florida, David honed his passion to focus solely on his first-love of utilizing his people skills, by melding career paths smoothly into the realm of the entertainment world's 'sister-industry,' of marketing, management and promotions, where he became a rock star for more than a decade and a half. David abruptly performed a 360 degree mid-air career-axle with a one and a half twist and chose to join his family's business 'Professional Systems,' believing in the cherished mantra of family first. Yet again, company Vice President David Lanning, thrived and excelled in the family business of 'Marketing & Promotional Materials,' through his ever increasing desire to entertain and deliver everyone else's hopes and dreams of success, through the extremely unique and creative promotions.
Mr. Lanning and Mr. Fitzpatrick have enjoyed a life-long friendship that began during their stint in elementary school. "Jim and I have always dreamt of working together over the last 42 years of our lives...we just wanted to ripen our qualifications first...besides, timing is everything in the entertainment industry...well that's what Jimmy keeps telling me," says David winking. Mr. Lanning has somehow earned a Degree in the Arts & Mass Communications during all his early 20's madness and young adult development stage and thankfully became acutely adept with Computer Programming and Design sequences, through illustration and applications, over the last 34 years. Oh and he developed really strong company managerial and leadership skills, through all of it.
