DAVID
LAVIN
David Lavin has an eclectic background that seems perfectly suited for the idiosyncratic world of agenting. He was the youngest chess master in Canada and represented the country in two world under-27 chess Olympics. He has lived in Berlin, Ibiza, London, San Francisco, and Vancouver with extended side trips to Mexico, Graz, Calgary, Paris and Amsterdam. He has a personal library of over 3,000 books and loves to read.

He started the agency in 1989 after a very successful career as a promoter, bringing such luminaries as Peter Ustinov, Tom Wolfe, Jerzy Kosinski, Noam Chomsky, and the legendary triple bill of Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary, and Eldridge Cleaver, to Toronto.

David started the agency with the same vision and energy he brought to the world of promoting. He wanted to bring ideas out into the open and stimulate debate. He knew that great speakers, like great educators, have the ability to transform how people see their world—how they think and how they act—whether the subject was business, politics, or mass media.

Away from the office, David spends most of his time in hockey rinks and at baseball diamonds with his three sons, Dylan, Carter, and Eliot. David coaches baseball and helps run the local baseball association.
