David Seltzer has worked as an investment banker and municipal financial advisor since 1976, advising state and local government agencies -- including some of the nation's largest transit systems -- in raising capital for major infrastructure projects and programs. He has had a lifelong interest in subways, possesses a library of over 450 books on the subject, and has toured 45 systems around the world (only 153 left to go). A lifelong Philadelphian, David is very active in civic affairs, serving on the boards of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, CraftNOW Philadelphia (which he co-founded), and the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative. He previously chaired Philadelphia Gas Works (the nation's largest municipally-owned gas company) and The Philadelphia History Museum.
