About David W Coon

Autobio 4155 Version 2.17 01/25/07 8 pages notes: Edited by Sam E

Please allow me to introduce myself:

My name is David W Coon. I am a

Teacher,

Entrepreneur,

Author,

and Leader.

I am a 5 year student at SUNY Albany.

I am graduating this spring from SUNY Albany with a Sociology major. I will graduate with 130 credits and an average GPA of 3.00 (hopefully). Let me tell you a little bit about what sociology means to me:

I study people and how to make society better. This means helping individuals live happier, healthier lives. Sociologists care about society's standard of living. We also study the political organizations that control a society.

I am currently studying:

Urban Development, the study of city planning.

Environmental Physics, the study of the environment, pollution, and public health.

I have extensive knowledge of many things in this world, I have a great understanding of sociology, psychology, philosophy, math, science, religion, morals, law, crime, geography, demographics, statistics, history, politics, money, God, good, evil, and the universe.
more to come...

I am also the Leader of the DWC Public Trust Company.

This company is completely public; all business records and dealings are public knowledge. The company manages real estate for residential living and commercial services. Our goal is to make the lives of the employees and clients as happy as possible.

Because this is a public company, you are encouraged to take part in it. You can invest in the company’s trust fund, which will be used to buy stocks in other public companies. You can also enjoy any of the services that our company offers. These include transportation, rental, hotels, deliveries, and more.

You are also invited to join the team. All employees get free housing and their basic needs taken care of. Income is based on how much money you make doing your job on a team of individuals who benefit from company profit. If you are a hard working person, who can problem solve and work on a team, and you are not making enough money at your current job, this company may be right for you. We will be expanding into your area soon.

I have ADD (attention deficit disorder), and I take a healthy dose of narcotics every day to combat this 'problem.' Commonly known as Ritalin, these drugs give me tremendous energy to work, write, and make the world better.

So if my writing jumps around a lot, which I am sure it does, it could have something to do with that.

I have a mission in life.

"My mission is to leave this world better than I found it."

This is the driving force that I am harnessing to build the Public Trust. I am fighting for you.

I am the Chief Executive Manager of DWC Public Trust Company and the majority shareholder of the Public Trust partnership.

I have written 5 eBooks, all of which are available for free, online. All are also available in print, for the cost of printing.

1) The DW Anthology - The DW Anthology contains all of my writing so far, including all four books as well as dozens of articles.

Excerpt from Think About It First Edition

(Originally published on October 26, 2006)

Chapter 18: Education, School, Life Experience and Work

This book is about everything that school has taught me. I went to school for 17 years, including 5 years at SUNY Albany.

This is what school has taught me:

- Always be honest and fair.

- Always do the best you can.

- Communicate your ideas with others in a clear manner.

- Do everything completely the first time. Pay attention to every detail. Try to get A+ or %100

- To assimilate into the capitalist system.

- To show empathy towards others, including classmates.

- To take my time.

- To accept constructive criticism.

- To talk and behave in a civilized way.

- To always be polite and to respect other people.

All of these ideas are the basis of this book.

These are the principles that my business will follow. This project is a living testimony of the purpose of schools in society. I would be in a very different place if I had not gone to school. I would not have learned about capitalism and revolutionary writers, from whom I have learned so much.

I have finally graduated from school. Even though I do not officially graduate until the spring, I have graduated in my mind and spirit. I was planning on continuing on to graduate school, but will all the debt I have now and the kinds of jobs that I want, working for myself and starting my own business is what I want to do right now. I admit that I have a lot more to learn, and I pledge to continue learning as much as I can every day until I cannot do it anymore, for learning is crucial to success. I am also committed to graduating in the spring, and am very excited about many of the classes that I taking now. There are also a few more college courses that I want to take in the spring semester, such as chemistry and philosophy. The nice thing about school now is that my grade point average does not matter, which is the way I’ve always thought about school. I am going to college to learn what I want to learn. I take what I want from every class that I take. If I did not want to be there, then I would go. I want to learn, I want to gain knowledge of different parts of the world. This is why I went to college. Now I am ready to take all this knowledge of the world and apply it as I see fit. I want to make a difference in the world, and that is what I am going to do.

In addition to my academics, I worked at 15 different wage jobs since I was 15 years old. I have 7 years of well-rounded job experience in many different fields. These are all the wage jobs that I have had in that time:

1. Hall of Springs, catering service, 1999. I was a dishwasher and handyman. This company would cater out, and my job was to wash the dishes that they trucked home. This was my first real job. $5.15/hr

2. Maestros’, summer ‘99-summer 2000. Dishwashing for a fancy restaurant on Broadway. I worked at this job for a year and a half. $6/hr

3. CVS, CVS Phototech, pharmacy, summer 2000-spring 2002 I worked at CVS in all departments: cashiering, stocking, facing, photo lab, and pharmacy. I did it for almost 2 years. $6/hr

4. Babbage’s, fall 2001- spring 2002. While in high school, this was my dream job. I was a game advisor for my favorite video game store. I got to talk about videogames all day, and I got a killer discount. $5.50/hr

5. Gecone’s pizza delivery, 3 weeks during the summer of 2001. My first pizza delivery job. Unfortunately, I was not very good at it. I was just too young, and I could not find the houses quickly enough. $5/hr plus tips

6. Bavarian Pretzels, one week 2001. It was good while it lasted, not enough time.

7. Private landscaping and handyman services, summer 2003. This summer, I worked for a wealthy dentist as a landscaper and repairperson. I got to work with my good friend Will Deptolski all summer. We got paid a cool $7/hr.

8. Regal Entertainment Group, June 2004-July 2005. This was my first collision with the corporate world. Regal is a massive corporate machine with a sickening case of capitalist fever. This company applied all forms of maximizing profits in the book. I learned much about the ways corporations operate while interacting with employees. This job was not all bad; I got to see every movie for free. $6.50/hr

9. Stewarts, July 2005-January 2006. I busted my ass for this job. This job really taught me independence. I was completely responsible for the welfare of the store. Paid $7/hr

10. Trio’s pizza delivery, February 2006. Job shifts were 5 pm -5 am. Paid $4/hr, plus tips, average $13 an hour. I had to use my own car and gas, and there are some scary parts of Albany. I worked this job because I had failed at it before, this time I was so much better. There really is not anything that I cannot do.

11. Babbage’s again, Summer 2006 This time under new corporate ownership, the job was a lot harder. At this point, I was able to do anything. It was not long before I was being called the best Game Advisor in the store. $6.75/hr, plus free games.

12. Auntie Anne’s Soft Pretzels, Summer 2006. This was the first franchise business that I worked for. The owner lived in Long Island, and he drove up once a month to work at the store on the weekends. This owner rolled and sold Pretzels once a month and made almost $10,000 a year. Most of the store’s surplus profits when to the store manager, and the rest to the employees. The owner, despite only working one weekend a month, made $10,000. This taught me a lot about ownership and employees. The working conditions were relaxed, though sometimes busy. $7/hr.

13. Paint Works: Painting and restoring houses in Saratoga. Summer 2006. I worked for Paint Works, a painting company owned and operated by Roland. He taught me how to restore houses. This was one of the most educational jobs I ever had. I am going to use these skills in all the houses that I buy.

14. Private Lawn Service, Summer 2006: Mowing lawns and yard care. Also painting and staining decks, stump removal, and wood working.

15. Primerica

16. Carpentry, (Summer '06 - present) I make and sell Adirondack Furniture. I will have a site for that soon. Some of you may have seen some of my work already.

17. Chief EM of DWC Public Trust Company

Other Work Experience

I have apprenticed on many different job sites. I have worked with home electrical work, dry way, indoor and outdoor painting, pool care, limited automotive repair, gardening, logging, firewood prep, and other general construction sites.

I have also worked for many people, providing many services.

In high school, I worked a few weekends for a schoolteacher of mine, Mr. Leighton as a handyman. Mr. Leighton also wrote me a recommendation for college. He owned two beautiful houses in Saratoga, one that his family lived in and another that had five apartments. I helped him paint and do other tasks around the house. He made a decent living from doing this and being a schoolteacher. This is the kind of thing that I want to be doing.

All these jobs gave me the perspective of all these different employers. Now I am ready to be the employer.

I will combine this with knowledge from school:

Studying groups (sociology),

Studying individual people (psychology),

Studying morals in the world (philosophy),

And, of course, math.

I have used the ideas learned from the last 5 years of school to write this book. Now I am going to put these ideas into practice.

I also want to do something that I can help people with as much as I can. I want to make a living doing something I want to do. I want to succeed and I want to make a difference.

Let me tell you one more thing. This business is going to be progressive. The world is always changing. Times are different now than they were 40 years ago, and they are going to be very different 40 years from now, in 2047 (I will be 62 years old). I think that someone should put together a new plan for how to run things better. And if nobody else is going to do it, then it might as well be me. Like it or not, it is going to be my generation that is going to run things for the next 40 years. As a society, we always want to progress in a way that benefits the most people, right?

More to come........

"Thank you, Peace and Love to Everyone..."
