Dave Lieber - Columnist, Author, Reviewer

"When asked which speaker the audience liked best at the conference, Dave Lieber
won hands down."

~ Lynne McLean, Greater Texas Community Partners ~

"A lot of people can and do write about small town and big city life, pets, kids spouses, ex-spouses, the rich, the poor, politicians, school boards and colorful locals. But in my book, nobody does it better than Dave Lieber. Just a sampling of his rich work is enough to set him apart from the others I've read and re-read. Whether it's the woman of his dreams or the dog of his nightmares (to paraphrase a Lieber juxtaposition), his columns unfold life's ironies a sentence at a time, much to the delight, and in some cases, amusement of his readers. Add to that an ear for conversation and an eye for the askew and you've got what it takes to win first place."

-- Vicky Katz Whitaker when she awarded Dave top prize
in the National Society of Newspaper Columnist's
annual competition.
