Another installment in our
Celebrity Lookalike feature is
Dr. Drew. Or we mean, CBRE's
David Lanier. It was only in the past few years that David was made aware of his double.
"Keith Geiger in our multi-housing capital markets group brought it to my attention. I had
never heard of the guy before that," he says. David—who heads CBRE's brokerage ops in Atlanta—didn't let Dr. Drew's popularity
sway him from considering another career outside of CRE. "I had a brief thought that I wanted to be in the
men's clothing business, but it only took me about two weeks working at Brooks Brothers to determine that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life
on my feet." He's never been confused in public for Dr. Drew, although he did give life advice to a couple of Red Cross nurses. "I hope I
didn't steer them wrong," he says. "I have a
face for radio."
