Meet Dave Kerpen.  Dave resides in New York. He is the CEO of Likeable Media – a social media and word of mouth marketing firm. He describes himself as a “social media junky, family man with two amazing daughters, and diehard Mets fan.”

Next, from world champion to redefining influence.

The Rundown

I have been using Empire Ave for:
1 month

My hopes for Empire Avenue are:
I hope EA can bring people together from diverse backgrounds – teach people about business and help redefine influence.

.
Empire Ave is more important than: Farmville, that’s for sure.
But less important than: my family.

One thing I want other EAers to know about me is:
I want to learn from them – and I love baseball stadiums.

I would also like you to know:
I was the runner up in both the Nintendo World Championships (Hartford, CT, 1988) and Paradise Hotel (FOX, 2003).

My Twitter and Facebook numbers are:
6064 and 3100

Empire Ave has helped my business/school network by:
helping me learn more about social networking / gaming theory.

The thing that drives me nuts about Empire Ave is:
having to login everyday no matter what.

I think communities are:
full of potential but currently not working.

The EAer I would most like to meet is:
Joanne Costello.

You can find Dave at EA Ticker: KERPEN or on Twitter at @DaveKerpen.

Dave wants to meet me? However did he manage to pick me out of all the users on Empire Avenue?!   Sucking up never hurts; it can make your profile stand out among the other submissions! I like jewelry and books – cash works too!

We’ll be featuring more people soon. Could it be you?
