David Jamason

General Manager
Not the suit-and-tie type of guy, David Jamason loves that he gets to wear sneakers to work every day. David, the general manager of The Parks, says he loves being able to help people live a healthy lifestyle.
  • Born in New York City, David moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico at age 10, and later to Gainesville, Florida.
  • He received his bachelors in history at the University of Florida.
  • A long time friend of the Rice family and having worked for them prior in Alabama, when David heard about The Parks opening he knew he couldn’t miss the opportunity to be part of it.
  • On his free time he satisfies his sense of adventure by exploring New Orleans. He enjoys visiting museums, partaking in festival festivities, indulging in New Orleans’ signature southern dishes and burning the calories off when he runs along the lakefront.
  • To unwind after work, David enjoys getting lost in great historical non-fiction—particularly civil war stories.
You’ll usually find David behind the front desk wearing a big smile. “I love being on the administration side of the gym because I get to help people make the decision to do it. If I can influence somebody to sign up and change their life, that makes me feel good.” He said.
