-daj’s Bio

Dave Juliette is an enigma unlike any other in our time … many claim to know him, and yet even his closest friends describe him as “elusive”. Much has been written about his substance abuse, his jail time, and the now mythical “Shadyside years”.

Sometimes overlooked however, are his philanthropy, his work with underprivileged children, his relationship with Mother Teresa, and his role in peacefully concluding the Indonesia/East Timor conflict. He has had a life-changing impact on many of those lucky enough to have a brush with him.

It was Dave, after all, who first encouraged his friend Mark Harmon to “stop wasting time with football” and pursue an acting career. Candice Bergen once described him as “an indispensable presence in my life“, and Jimmy Carter likes to tell the story of how “Anwar Sadat was ready to leave Camp David until Mr. Juliette worked his magic on him. We’d have never gotten Anwar’s signature without Dave’s cajoling“.

Tony Blair was highly dependent upon Dave’s council, until their tragic falling out over the Iraq war. Francis Ford Coppola has said that, “If Dave Juliette had been a filmmaker, no one would know me, or Marty, or George … none of us“.

The list of the great and near great who have sat with him at his dining room table, drinking Scotch and nibbling Nutter-Butters is a veritable Who’s Who of the movers and shakers of our time.

Now living a quiet life in his Swisshelm Park (Pittsburgh, PA) home, Dave often welcomes people from the world over seeking advice, council or the friendship of this colossus among men. One Man’s Tofu is his way of “giving back to mankind for the privilege of being an American”.
