Dave Davlin Biography

Over 25 years ago, Dave Davlin began bringing smiles to faces with a form of entertainment he developed as a young boy. From NBA and major college arenas across America to the Summer Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea— and even to the world-famous Branson Strip— “Travelin” Davlin has entertained people of every age and background. His amazing ability with basketballs even landed his name and picture in the 1990 Guinness Book of World Records.

Davlin began to hone his speaking skills in the early 90s as a national speaker in public schools across America. Combining his entertainment ability with a powerful message, he was instrumental in the fight for education and against drugs. At the advice of friends working in corporate America, Davlin began to develop presentations for the corporate and association market, and the rest is history. He now speaks at numerous corporate and associational conferences each year. From public school students to CEOs, Davlin’s message has made a difference in the lives of thousands, and his impact continues to grow each year as he shares his philosophy and wisdom through speaking and writing.

Above the Rim – Achieving Success Despite Limitations

In everyone, there exists the potential to achieve excellence. Each of us has unique skills and innate abilities that can lead us to success and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. Unfortunately, however, we also possess certain traits, habits, and even beliefs that often prevent us from reaching our true potential and experiencing life to the fullest.

Whether manifested in the form of a physical or mental limitation, an emotional or psychological affliction, or even an imagined encumbrance, such handicaps sabotage the pursuit of our goals and desires in ways that may be hidden from us. In this inspiring and impactful presentation, Davlin shares how he identified and refused to be limited by his own obstructions—and reassures audiences that even though limitations exist in many forms, we do not have to be limited by them.
