Dave Raymond Biography
National Media outlets have dubbed Dave Raymond the Hero of Happiness. He is an author, international keynote speaker, thought leader in happiness practice, and yes. . .the original Phillie Phanatic.
Through his work, Raymond helps communities connect and bond, rooted in his blend of world- class performance, joy, and connection.
Raymond now brings the same contagious energy that made the Phanatic legendary to audiences around the world. He’s made his mark, from speaking at Fortune 500 companies to being featured on HBO, in The New York Times and appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"—delivering a clear message: fun isn’t fluff; it’s a powerful, strategic tool for transforming culture, boosting performance, and enhancing well-being.
Raymond doesn’t just talk about happiness, he engineered it! While others studied the science of joy, he lived it every day, even when it was hard. His journey from personal pain to public joy has made him a leading voice in the psychology of fun and emotional well-being. With unmatched energy and authenticity, Raymond empowers individuals and organizations to rediscover happiness, ignite culture, and lead with purpose.
