A man of many moves

By Eric Rangus erangus@emory.edu

"I really, genuinely, have a lot of energy for a lot of stuff,” says David Woolf, director of development at the Emory Eye Center. He makes this statement about an hour into an interview that will last more than twice that time. 

Woolf freely admits he has a tendency to ramble. But his company is so engaging and his interests so wide, that his tangential conversational style can be forgiven.

Prior to coming to Emory in 1989, Woolf was vice president for development for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He worked with the Dallas Opera and Dallas Theater Center before that. Those artistically leaning jobs aside, Woolf’s first degree was in the more serious subjects of math and psychology. Woolf also earned a degree in music (his instrument was classical guitar), but he eventually came to terms with the fact that his future lay in administration.
