About Dave »

Dave Finocchio is a Founder of Bleacher Report and leads the Content Team.

With his aspirations of realizing a professional ping-pong career nothing more than a distant memory, Dave lives a life of regret and anguish. Some day, he hopes to reopen "Beach, Blanket, Bablyon" at the family business in San Francisco.

If all goes according to plan, Dave will launch extensive radio, billboard, and restroom flier marketing campaigns in Nebraska and Western Iowa to promote the musical. He will leverage his success to raise an army of patrons, and reclaim the Peña Adobe and greater Vacaville in the name of his Spanish ancestors.

Dave's mood is impacted by the performance of the following teams: Notre Dame Football, Notre Dame Basketball, Duke Basketball, San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, Golden State Warriors, and East Dillon High School.
