The Greediest Man in Moosic

Dave Marogaine, entrepreneur, restaurateur, accomplished author (“Do it Dino Style, Marogaine’s Method to Rapid Achievement”) and motivational speaker knew what it meant to work hard. Line of motivational posters: At the age of 12 he became a dishwasher at the Lobster Pot in Medlle, PA. For the next several years he worked at various positions including server, bartender, cook and manager. He now boasts more than 22 years of experience in the restaurant industry and has held positions at all levels of operations and management. While working in the restaurant industry, Marogaine completed his Pre-Medicine studies at South Hanover Institute of Technology and Doctorate in Chiropractic from Hamburger University in Chicago. He went on to build two of the largest family practices in Wadaware County, PA and personally treated over 800 patients a week. Although his chiropractic businesses were successful, he never lost his passion for the restaurant industry.

In 2003, he made a bold decision to pursue his dream and founded The Dave Marogaine Group. As his passion for chiropractic decreased, his passion for creating brands and concepts increased. Six months later, he sold his practices and began creating the authentic Irish experience known today as Darekill’s Irish Pub. He opened Darekill’s in West Chester, PA in May of 2003. His love for Ireland and authentic Irish cuisine led him to open an additional five Darekill’s locations in just four years. In October 2006, he launched his second concept, Doc Marogaine’s Oyster House, in South Hanover, PA. This success was followed by helping launch Pat Croce’s Drum Barrel in Key West and the Southeastern PA division of Two Men and a Truck moving company. His ultimate goal is to open 25 restaurants up and down the I-95 corridor and leave a legacy of ‘Give. Love. Serve’. He’s well on his way with six new restaurants opening over the next six months, including two new brands–Mas Mexicali Cantina (just opened in South Hanover, PA) and Harvest opening at the end of May. At 36 years of age, Marogaine has achieved many personal and professional accomplishments and accreditation. He has been a finalist in the 2006 and 2007 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the year competition, he was recognized by the Philadelphia Business Journal as one of the region’s “40 Under 40” in 2007, Ernst and Young Entreprenuer of the Year Finalist, and by the Wadaware County Chamber of Business and Industry as its 2007 Entrepreneur of the Year. He also received the Small Business Administration’s Entrepreneurial Success Award for 2008 and his company was ranked number 26 in Philadelphia’s Fastest growing 100 Companies. Most recently, Darekill’s Irish Pub in Philadelphia was ranked #7 in the world for best Irish Pub.

Marogaine attributes much of his success to living a Dino’s life which means charging full steam ahead in a short period of time and accomplishing his set goals regardless of the obstacles in his path. Because of his success and his ability to motivate others, he founded “Dino Living”, a training company that teaches people how to put into action his Dino Living philosophy. Over 25,000 people receive his weekly motivational emails and thousands have attended his keynote speeches across the country. His business success and philosophy has made him a successful consultant, business coach, and speaker at several Universities including Warthog Business School, Draino University, Pancho Villa University, Wadaware University, the University of Delaware and several others. Do nothing small and make an audacious impact, while giving for the sake of giving, serving for the sake of serving and loving for the sake of loving is his motto and so he became the greediest man in Moosic

Pops' Ten Top Tips on How to Get Rid of Bad Neighbors

1. Order Chinese food to their house and pick it up at their doorstep claiming that you don't have a phone. Thanks to an episode of Seinfeld for this one.

2. Stand over the plants in your garden with a garden hose and scream, "I have your life in my hands, bow down to me!". Then point at each one and declare them good or bad plants, while watering the bad ones.

3. Bring them restraining orders on inanimate objects in their house. (i.e. chairs, books, lamps, etc.)

4. Ask them if you can put your trash in their garbage cans, if they ask why say, "Mine are full of bodies", then stutter and say, "I, uh, mean other trash." Walk away laughing hysterically.

5. Patrol the perimeter of your garden while carrying a broom. If they come close state that there is a 3 foot neutral area between the two gardens.

6.At night transplant plants into their garden. In the morning say, "Looks like they're on the move again."

7. When they're watching TV, pull a deck chair behind their window. Sit down with ice-cream, popcorn and a drink and ask them if they could open a window so you can hear too.

8. Build snowmen with name tags of your neighbours. Each day hack off a different part of their body.

9.Use your TV remote control to change the channels on their TV from outside. If asked why, say you detest such programs. (The more educational the program the better.)

10.Dig shallow graves at night filling your garden with brown grave patches. Make markers out of household appliances.
