My name is David Segui, and I am the co-owner of iSmash Tampa. I have the honor of being a candidate for the 2024-2025 Honorary Mayor of Eastern Hillsborough County. I am a New York native who moved to beautiful Florida in 2003.  After 20+ years working in the insurance industry, I retired in 2021 and decided I wanted to open a rage room with my friend Bob Knapp in 2022.

As best friends, we always wanted to open a business together.  We had no desire to enter the insurance industry again.  We found the iSmash franchise and immediately fell in love with the concept.  We enjoy what we do so much that we intend to open six more locations in Central Florida.

We are raising funds for the Impact Program, Hope for Her, and Small But Mighty Heroes.  I choose these charities because they help causes that are very personal and dear to my heart.

Impact educates students, parents, and teachers on how to have healthy relationships and avoid sexual risk. As an at-risk teen myself, programs like Impact are essential to helping teens make better choices. Hope for Her offers a safe place for women to find strength, skills, and support after experiencing trauma. After visiting their facility, I was heartbroken to find out just how many women need help in our community. Small But Mighty Heroes provides support to children battling cancer and to their siblings and parents. iSmash had the honor of hosting a Christmas event for Small But Mighty Heroes, and we got to see firsthand the amazing work and support they provide to these families battling pediatric cancer.

My goal is to ensure that these organizations have the resources necessary to continue providing services to those in need in our community.
