Pursue the Passion

Director of Communications

Dave Santucci, Georgia Aquarium



Dave Santucci wanted to be a lawyer when graduating from Emory College (the Harvard of the South). He informally interviewed ten lawyers and asked them if he should pursue a career as a lawyer. Nine out of ten of them said he should consider an alternative career.

An internship with CNN led to a job as a producer. A highlight in his seven year career was going on a zero gravity simulator while reporting on science, space, and technology at NASA.

Now Director of Communications at the world’s largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, Dave dives with whale sharks once a month while handling all communication issues. Quite a different life had he not talked to those ten lawyers.

Very cool video. One less lawyer is a good thing. This was a good piece of advice, take an internship, for kids coming out of school. GREAT interview!!!!
