David Venable

I'm a big fan of his but only know about him via his shows on Q. I've not read any articles though plan on getting the magazine where he's on the cover. I hear him talk endearingly about his mother on his ITKWD shows, but just curious---has he ever mentioned his dad? Was he raised by his mom? Any sibs?

@KKJ His Dad passed away I believe a long time ago. He does have siblings but don't remember what he posted about them.

Thanks for the info! I always thought it would be neat if he had his mom on a show since he got his cooking inspiration from her growing up.

Better hurry to get the magazine, as I got it yesterday and they already had the new issue out. Just happened to be one left of David.

Also, I thought the article said he was raised by his single mom. I may have misread that. It had a photo of he, his mother, his sister, and his brother.

David has often mentioned he was raised by his single mother. I've never heard his even mention his father.

Yes, David often speaks of his father especially when the hand pie lady come on . He talks about his Dad talking him on road trips when he was little, and his Dad would get him some sort of hand pie and nice cold small carton of milk to go with.

I had underestimated David's talent until I saw him make an appearance on the Rachael Ray talk/cooking show. David appeared with Rachael and another male guest. Not only did he hold his own with them he displayed poise, confidence, and a tremendous camera presence. In fact, I think he stole the show that day or at least his segment. I developed a real appreciation for David's talent that day.

Apparently at the time of his father's death, David's parents mustve been divorced previously as Sarah, David's mom, is not mentioned in the obituary.

Yes, David speaks of his Mother as a single Mother raising 3 kids, and the Sunday pot roasts every other Sunday. When she got paid . He speaks of this when they are selling pressure cookers and how long it took his Mother to cook one with out one and using the conventiall way.

Speaking of David Venable, are there any forum members who remember watching him when he was an anchor on WTAJ-TV in Altoona, PA? I'm originally from that area but had left it by the time he was with the TV studio.

I would have loved to have seen him broadcasting during his earlier years. I bet he was a real favorite with the area residents. Altoona is a smaller town and has that warm and friendly vibe. He would have fit in very nicely.

I remember David speaking about a brother and his nephew who was starting college a few years back. He said they always get together at Christmas. His mom made a video appearance not too long ago. Love this guy!

In the magazine, there is a picture of him with his mother, sister and brother.

Look at David's Surf and Turf Burger? We'd need the mouth of a whale to eat that?

He is a salesman. I don't care about him any more than I care about any other salesman I've forced to deal with. To me they're a nuisance in a business transaction.

There is always and I mean always one in every crowd. Why would you post such a negative post? Yes its your opinion but posting it is clearly showing just how you wanted to bring negative to an otherwise positive thread.

As a professional salesperson for all of my career (in technology), I take pride in helping people make a decision that can improve something in a client's life.

After getting to know the client, sometimes we find that my product is not a good choice. Still, I even received referrals from those prospects.

You may be denying yourself opportunities to learn what is available that would be meaningful for you if all salespeople are considered to be lacking value.
