David is a 64 year old semi-retired nuclear industry software developer who found substitute teaching as a second career. He was born in New Orleans as a "WHO DAT" and lives in Short Pump, Virginia with his wife Tisha. Dave has 4 children - Anna, Zach, Becca & Nick. Dave has 3 grandchildren - Aiden (11), Lilliana (6) and Isla (19 months). Dave enjoys riding his bike, swimming, and listening to great music! Dave is a Catholic christian who studied to become a Catholic priest for 3 years but in the end decided to share his talents with young people in the church and Boy Scouts as an Aquatics Director many summers! Dave enjoys traveling with his wife Tisha and has been to Singapore (on the longest flight in the world 19 hours on Sinagapore Airlines), England, Spain, Gibralter, Morroco, Maldives, Ecuador, Hawaii, Mexico, Carribean, California, Maine and a lot places in the US in between.
Recently a student in my 3rd grade class at Rivers Edge Elementary School asked me this question after I shared the story of my ride of 5760 miles across America one summer and the upcoming ride of 1400 miles from Short Pump, Virginia to New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a great question and as I reflected on it a number of things came to mind. The "challenge" of doing something not very many people have done or would even attempt to do especially when a lot of people doubted that I could complete it surely motivated me when I was 27 years old. I am very proud of that accomplishment in my life. A chance to see the United States up close and personal on a bike is something you can only appreciate when you do it! A chance to "inspire" the students I teach when I substitute and help them to dream past the everyday things and know that nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself! A chance to reflect on my life and pray for all the people who have been part of it and helped me become the person I am today. Now the challenge is a little different at age 64. A lot of people still think I am crazy for even trying to do it but I am training both physically and mentally. I will create another adventure in my life and will meet KIND people along the way and of course I get to eat a lot hamburgers and french fries! I am so BLESSED!
