Origin of the name
You may all be wondering how I got the name KoolDave. Well I will tell you that I am cool, of course, or I wouldn’t have been called that (I’m kidding). In the start of my junior year at Schenley High School. My website I had started in middle school became very popular (Krazy Dave’s Hookup Site). It wasn’t yet kooldave.com, but it was headed toward that name quickly. My nickname at the time was KrazyDave or KrazyDavey because I was one “krazy” man. Then a bunch of my friends that were girls started calling me cool dave, because they thought I had matured and calmed down a bit, and I was no longer that “crazy.” I really liked the new nickname Cool Dave because it was simpler and fit my personality well.
I thought of ways of marketing it and making myself known only as that. I looked to make a new site for my senior year.
I was just starting my internship at NCCJ and I started development of my new site. I wanted to use one of my nicknames as the web url; but cooldave was taken already and I really didn’t like C’s anyways. I thought about using krazydave.com, but I thought it was old, and people might think it was some type of joke. I wanted to bring all cool stuff to my site, not krazy things. Immediately, I looked to register kooldave.com and it worked. From then on, everyone would know me as the one and only KOOLDAVE (except for the C guy).
Short Version: KrazyDave and KoolDave were two of my high school nicknames.

This book is still a work in process as I continue to search for more information to include to make it worth releasing. I wish I would have started in 1996.

Past Projektz
Thank you for visiting my website. I have kept a website since 1998 when I used to show off the latest “KICKZ” and that used to be widely available in my size. The good old days. I kept it going through HS and college as an event site showcasing photos and my journal. Now, I feature my projects that keep me busy. If you have visited in the past and you are looking for something specific, drop me a message.
Konkrete Rhymes: Volume One is technically the 8th book I have been apart of. These are my past books that inspired me to get my first solo book finally released.
