AKA – “The Goon Squad”

David Anderson aka David “Down & Dirty” Anderson is known to many as a “party icon.” In his early 20’s Anderson dreamt of having a professional soccer career and supported this drive by hosting house parties to pay the bills. A career ending injury abruptly ended this dream, leaving him pondering what to do next. Quick on his feet, he shifted his focus to hosting themed house parties that Tampanians were demanding. The rest is history and Anderson has spent the last decade turning events and club promotions into a successful business. Most recently, Franklin Manor, in downtown Tampa, FL. Unlike any venue in Tampa, Franklin Manor is a social drinkery that hosts a hybrid of live music, craft beer and eatery. This is where Anderson hangs his hat currently and in less than a year has made Franklin Manor the talk of the town. This is because of Anderson’s experience, keen eye and forward thinking of the event and hospitality industry. He has a way of looking at the trends today and tomorrow!Anderson is one of the select few partners in The Nocturnal Group, the development and management company that makes the wheels turn at Franklin Manor and future boutique brands to come in the Tampa Bay area and elsewhere around the Country. His valued partners are long time friend, Lafranco Pescante, who has over eight years in the event and hospitality industry, and notable newcomer to the fold Jason Bell. David Anderson and The Nocturnal Group are clearly a management company on the rise.

Humbly stated, we are an experienced cutting edge company merging world class capabilities in bar/restaurant/event operations & development into a business-centric approach focused on driving net profit and delivering maximum added value for our partners.

That time period progressed onto bar and club promotions all the way to the present day full concert nightclub production projects, to successfully market any type of business, to owning our first bar. We are humble experts in every facet of the business proposed. In the last few years, we have brought numerous entertainers and celebrities to Tampa and the surrounding areas. Due to our vast insightful knowledge of the area, we’ve set the standard in Tampa Bay for nearly ten years. The group is only getting started as they are looking to open two more companies in Tampa in the near future.                                                     Lanfranco has received a B.A. Sports and Event Management from the University of Tampa.
