Extractions: ALUMNI Voices Page 4 of 8 Page 21 of 26 An avid believer in doing something you truly love, Dave Blum '85 builds treasure hunts. "You should find your work really fun or really meaningful," he said over a plate of Vietnamese food in San Francisco's Chinatown. Blum, creator and founder of Dr. Clue Treasure Hunts, shared his clues for happiness while conducting a brief tour of his hometown, San Franciscoone restaurant, countless trinket shops, one coffee bar, and a circuitous route through the city's popular tourist arena. An English major while a student, Blum found Pomona to be a solid training ground for his career objectives. He honed his leadership skills while a resident assistant in Mudd-Blaisdell, and using Pomona's liberal arts curriculum, he built a grounding in literature that would eventually become helpful in devising clues for treasure hunts. "Pomona taught me self-discipline. It taught me to be focused and persistent, and I needed that as an entrepreneur," he said. Over the next two hours meandering through Chinatown, Blum recalled his struggle to find his ideal occupation. "What I found was that what I wanted to do didn't existI had to bring it into the world. So, I created the treasure-hunt model." In 1995, with a few clients and a lot of ideas, Dr. Clue's Treasure Hunts was born. Now, on most days, Blum can be found walking the streets of San Francisco's North Beach-Chinatown area cataloguing the hard-to-find landmarks, weathered plaques, bizarre window displays and neighborhood eccentricities that make up his treasure hunt clues.
