Former Enterprise Columnist on a Times Square Billboard?

A UC Davis graduate and former Enterprise columnist could soon land on some seriously valuable billboard space. 

David Lacy is in the top 1 percent of competitors in a contest put on by the social networking site About.me. The winner will become the face of the website's next campaign and will be flown out to New York to see his/her self on a large Times Square billboard. 

The contest ends on September 20, and requires voters to simply visit Lacy's About.me page and click “vote.” You can vote once every 24 hours. Lacy has promoted the page via social media, insisting that the simple voting process requires just one click.

“No e-mail needed, no spam. You just click vote,” he recently said in a Facebook post.

He later added: “Voting increases survival odds in the Zombie Apocalypse.”

Lacy began writing for the Enterprise back in 1995. By 1999 he was writing a weekly column called “Growing Younger,” for which he was awarded first place by the California Newspaper Publisher’s Association in 2003.

He graduated from UC Davis with highest honors in 2006 and later continued his education at UC Irvine. He now teaches at CSU Long Beach and Irvine Valley College, according to his bio. 

He is also the co-creator of the iPinion syndicate, which features a variety of columnists and blogers, local and national.
