How did I get the nick name DaVo?
• Well, I was the victim of having a common name David. Growing up in my family and school, I was surrounded by an average of 5 to 6 Davids everywhere I went. The solution was to give us nick names. for example one was David, one was Dave, one was Davey and I got stuck with Dave-o. This was of course pointless cause usually we all answered to anything beginning to with the “Dav” sound. I think the reason for that I got stuck with Dave-o was I hated the name. When I was younger I disliked anyone shortening my name and calling me anything but David. • Well, for some reason, in the early 90s a few people started calling me Dave-o again and when I started piercing I figured to avoid confusion, I would go with DaVo(pronounced Dave O). In theory this would also allow me to know how I knew someone. Dave if it was a person I met outside the studio and DaVo if it was someone I knew through the studio. Of course this didn’t work and before long everyone including my own mother was calling me DaV
