I'm David Singer, and Palmetto Bay has been my home for as long as I can remember. I'm the middle child between my two wonderful sisters, Caren and Jennifer. Like many of you, I've deep roots in this community - from my days I attended Coral Reef Elementary, through Palmetto Middle, and finally graduating from Palmetto Senior High.

My journey took me to Florida State University for my undergraduate degree and then to the University of Miami, where I further honed my skills. As a CPA and Real Estate agent, I've spent my career working to understand the financial intricacies that make our community tick. My eight years in public accounting, specializing in auditing, and my experience in forensic auditing for various law firms have given me a keen eye for fiscal responsibility - a skill I promise to bring to our city's governance.

Today, I'm a proud father of two sons: Daniel, and Jeremy. I'm also blessed with a step-son, Ryan. Watching them grow and thrive in Palmetto Bay reminds me daily of why I'm so passionate about serving our community. My professional journey has been diverse - from working as a CFO and COO for a local commercial developer to now running my own business, Singer Real Estate Consulting. Each step has deepened my understanding of our community's needs and potential.

Some of you may recall my previous tenure on the council. Looking back, I realize my approach wasn't always perfect. My passion for our community sometimes led me to be overzealous, and there were times when I could have been a better listener. However, those experiences have been invaluable. They've taught me crucial lessons about effective leadership, the power of collaboration, and the vital importance of uniting our community.

It's time to give our residents a strong voice again and bring a spirit of cooperation and civility back to Village hall. I'm ready to step up, heal the divisions, and be the residents' voice on the council. Together, we can create a more inclusive and harmonious Palmetto Bay.
