David Mann
President & Founder
Lighthouse Living

David grew up in Great Neck, NY and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1999. What seemed like a good decision at the time, David joined the family business in the Garment Center after attending F.I.T. for one year. After spending 9 years in the garment center, David realized not only does he not have any sense of women’s fashion, but also that his true love was real estate development. He left the garment center and enrolled at the real estate school at NYU, called the Schack Institute.

School started almost on the day Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy in 2008 and David proceeded to receive a crash course on what not to do in real estate. In May of 2010, he received a Master’s in Real Estate Development and could not find a job in the terrible economy. Left with no other choice and a baby on the way, David founded Lighthouse Living and started his real estate development career on his own. Today, David lives in Armonk, NY with his wife and two children.
