Biography of David M. Krieff

The original Silver Foxes were Harry Hoffman (Dustin's Dad), Sal Pacino (Al's Dad), Jackie Stallone (Sly's Mom), Pauline Fawcett (Farrah's Mom), Shirley Simmons (Richard's Mom). Later came Laurie Williams (Robin's Mom). The first two Silver Foxes Shape Up America fitness videos became best sellers.

Ten years later, The Silver Foxes have garnered worldwide recognition and admiration for their total commitment to 50+ health. The Silver Foxes for the new millennium include Sal Pacino, Christine Johnson (Magic's Mom), Jenny Crawford Moluf (Cindy's Mom), Nikki Robbins (Tony's Mom), Patsy Swayze (Patrick's Mom), Tony Tarantino (Quentin's Dad). David got them all together to create a groundbreaking 50+ Pilates video led by long-time dancer/revered actress Stefanie Powers. Based on these remarkable Silver Fox developments, one can only marvel at the perspicacity of their founder and President David M. Krieff.

Born in New York in 1960 and raised in Miami, David graduated from the University of Florida with a telling double major of Advertising and Psychology, and received Cum Laude distinction. His path into the business of entertainment was a natural fit with his unique innate ability to bring diverse groups of people together to create the kind of synergy and momentum necessary to launch ambitious projects.

The first of which came about when he co-founded a PR and marketing firm, where he found himself with such blue chip entertainment clients

as Miami Vice (NBC), The Bee Gees, and Burger King. His first foray into the business was through sponsorship-driven entertainment/sports projects.

In the past 15 years, David has worked with powerhouse entertainment entities NBC, ESPN, Disney, Universal Pictures, Paramount, CBS, FOX, and Warner Brothers, to bring some of the most unusual and leading-edge independent film and television projects to audiences worldwide.

With Olympic figure skating champion Scott Hamilton, David jointly produced a first-of-its-kind battle of the sexes on ice series for network. This foray led him to accomplish the near-impossible task of orchestrating a heart-to-heart interview between women's skating archrivals Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan as part of a skating special which he executive produced. Once again, David's ability to bring people together triumphed.

His skating extravaganzas have been highest-rated in their category, and led to Ice Angel, a Family Channel favorite movie (starring Nicholle Tom, Tara Lipinski, Nancy Kerrigan, and Alan Thicke) that David executive produced. These outright, quantifiable smash hits have proven that David Krieff not only brings people together for ambitious endeavors, but that these endeavors have real and quantifiable success that is reflective of his impeccable business acumen.

Other projects over the years have led him to work with such talent as Andre Agassi, Marina Hingis, Michael Jackson, Cindy Crawford, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Van Halen, Ice-T, Courtney Love, Rodney Dangerfield and Madonna. This year he will be putting together golf luminary Tiger Woods with LPGA champion Annika Sorenstam for a Disney special.

Regardless of his many projects, David Krieff remains personally and passionately committed to the mission inspired by his grandfather's amazingly able longevity: The Silver Foxes. This year the Foxes will travel the country in support of the health and well being of 50+ Americans and 50+ people all over the world.

While David is avid tennis player, marathon runner, Horseman, amateur golfer, and Harley-Davidson devotee, he still marvels at the boundless energy and mental acuity of his grandpa Morris, who, at 100, still drives a car.

Now married and the father of three, Silver Foxes founder and President David M. Krieff looks forward to the day that he can claim Silver Fox status and be a card-carrying member of the largest-growing and most vital part of the American population. Parenting for a lifetime is what The Silver Foxes are all about.
