Below is an article featured in Space Coast Living magazine called “A Few Good Men.” It is the Father’s Day issue. One of the ten men featured is our very own Groupe Lacasse and United Chair rep, Dave Head. Dave has been instrumental in the establishment and on-going success of Center Line Associates. He was one of the first representatives to agree to bring his line of office furnishings on board when we opened. He continues to be an asset and valuable resource to our company. Way to go, Dave!

Umpire-in-chief at Viera/Suntree Little League
As the umpire-in-chief at Viera/Suntree Little League Dave trains and manages a volunteer umpire group called the Strike Force. His experience as an umpire all started accidentally 26 years ago when his children were playing baseball and an umpire didn’t show up for the game. Another parent convinced him to help out and he did, wearing his flip-flops and Hawaiian shirt. The rest, as they say, is history. After a move away and then returning to the Suntree area he drove by the Little League field to purchase a Christmas tree with his wife. He suddenly felt inspired to volunteer again and asked the salesman if they needed umpires. Without hesitation, the man produced a volunteer application and Dave was back umpiring on the weekends. He developed a Junior Umpire Program with children ranging in age from 11 to 18. The program now has about 85 kids who earn Bright Future and community service hours and see a different perspective of the game, he says. Dave has also earned a World Series recommendation and hosts several camps throughout the year training other umpires. For work, he travels during the week to arrive home in time to umpire games on most weekends. Knowing that he is making a difference in the lives of children each day he is on the field fuels his passion for the sport. “There is an incredible amount of enthusiasm and that is what keeps me motivated.”
