David's Story
Life
See my School and Work Bios.
Married for the second time, first marriage died. Second wife had been hired by me as a Coaching Partner and was around to help pick up the pieces. Still amazed that this bright, great looking and independent 22 year old had any interest in in a thirty year old who just messed up his marriage, but I have no complaints 25 year later. Two daughters, Brianne 18 and Brandi 12, I am too old to deal with this.
After coaching in Ontario for 15 years, moved to Alberta to coach some more. Pretty successful career.
Psychological burnout got me in 98-99, time for a chnge, lucky me the same woman was around to help.
Been lucky to travel to every province and every major city in Canada, and a few I would sooner forget, as well as many in the US. Also been to Moscow, France(2), Spain, Germany, Austria, former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico(2), Roumania(3), The Philipines, all at someone else expense.
My personal phjilosophy is reflected in the Hit Single from 2001 by Leanne Womack, "I Hope You Dance"
