Tonight the shit hits the fan when seven strangers move into The Real World: Hollywood house. Sure to be filled with lots of drama and many memorable moments The Real World: Hollywood is a season not to be missed. It all starts tonight at 10 PM ET/PT on MTV. We recently caught up with Dave and asked him about everything from why he applied to be on The Real World, to what he is doing now.

Originally from Waynesboro, PA and 23 years old, David traveled around during his college years. From playing football in Philadelphia, to Community College in Maryland, to finally ending up at Coastal Carolina University, and playing lacrosse in Myrtle Beach, SC. Dave considers himself a “big jock,” and says he isn’t just into traditional sports but into extreme sports as well. He describes himself as a free spirited rebel who loves to live life by his own rules. Currently, he is working on a clothing line called Red Flag (www.ripredflag.com) and now travels back and forth from New York, Los Angeles, South Carolina and Atlanta, working on TV hosting, film and television auditions, and fashion. He keeps busy and says he is constantly getting into something new, but why not, he says you only live once. Moving into The Real World house was just one of those experiences…

Did you watch the Real World before you applied? Why did you apply?

Yes, I did watch a couple seasons of “The Real World.” Paris, San Diego and Austin were the ones I watched most. I tried out because I said I would always do it once, and I felt that I was always meant to do something more then the normal life – just needed to figure it out or let it come to me.

If you could have been on any other season of The Real World besides the Hollywood edition, which would it have been and why?

Hmmm good question… I probably would have to say the Las Vegas season. I just think that would have been a blast and the networking there would have been great. But let’s be real… who wouldn’t want to be on our season – HOLLYWOOD!!!

How has your life changed, already, even though your season hasn't aired yet?

Geez, how my life has changed. Well, I ate lunch with the previous partner of Von Dutch and current Head of PR for O’Quinn Clothing line, Bryan. Guy’s 25 and a millionaire, and I hit up a pre-party for the season with Will in Beverly Hills, CA. Never under any circumstances would I have a day like this if it wasn’t for “The Real World” sending me to Hollywood. “The Real World” didn’t change my life – it gave me opportunities to change my life, and I’m changing my life every day. Best case scenario – people around your town say “that’s that guy.” Well, I want more then that.
