Slow down.... HIS name is David Mech, formerly known as Dave Pounder and he is seeking election to the Palm Beach County School Board's District 3 seat. Mech has been retired from his 10 year career in the industry since 2010.
“I am running for the Palm Beach County School Board (District 3) to bring about fundamental change in areas where the current board is deficient. Once again, these areas include technology, innovation, equality, sex education, and secular values,” Mech said on his campaign Web site.
According to the Palm Beach Post, when parents learned of Mech’s prior porn career, they complained to the school district. The district took down banners that Mech had at several schools in the Boca area to get clients for his math tutoring business, the Happy/Fun Math Tutor company.
According to a letter from then General Counsel Sheryl Wood to Mech: “Given that parents within the community have already made the connection between your tutoring business and your adult entertainment business, the principals had no choice but to remove your banners.”
Mech, who has two doctorate degrees, said there was nothing illegal about his former participation in the adult film industry and he had innovative ideas to bring to the board.
“People can go to my Website and if they agree with the issues they can vote for me. If they don’t, they won’t vote for me,” he said.
