In 2017 I married Brynne Desmarteau, who was introduced to me by one of my driving customers at Hooked On Driving. Together, we moved to the Sierra Foothills where Brynne works virtually and I do special projects in motorsports after having sold Hooked On Driving.
One of the things I'm most proud of was having the honor of serving as Student Council President at Forest View in 1971. It's been ride, and as I'm very remiss in staying in touch, I apologize to my many friends and acquaintances who are on this site...Time just flies too fast!!
Best Regards,
David
p.s. Yes, I got hooked on amateur road racing and had a blast...raced for 35 years and now only do track days...
