David's Story

I now live in the rural and mountainous area of North Central Washington State. At age 18, I served in the military during Vietnam as a Flight Medic aboard the UH-1H Huey. I am grateful that I had that opportunity to be of service to my Country. I hold degrees in health education, drama, and language arts. I taught 7th grade for a few years before continuing my education to become a licensed Midwife. Eventually, I took a position with the Chelan-Douglas Health District. In 2003 I left my position of 17 years as the Director of Health Education for that health district. On October 16, 2004 I opened the doors to my barbecue restaurant. In 2016 I sold the restaurant for a good profit. I decided to attend Bates Community/Vocational college for 5 months to become a 48 State, over-the-road commercial truck driver as a retirement job. After three years of trucking, I decided to stay close to home and work as a substitute school bus and transit bus driver. I currently enjoy a new career as an Interpretive Guide during the Spring thru Fall seasons. During this time I will live and work at one of our National Parks conducting bus tours which guid...Expand for more
e and educate visitors on the history, flora and fauna, and the natural wonders they are observing. For example, at Grand Canyon National Park I will include subjects like the geological, paleontological, and historical human occupation in a fun and meaningful way. I will also engage visitors with stories of the characters, tall tales, and the history of how the area became a National Park that is a popular place for people to visit. If I decide not to work for the National Park Service, I will head to Southeastern Alaska to work as an Interpretive Tour Guide for a commercial touring company with whale watching and historic tours of the region. During the Fall to early Spring seasons I will be found at my home (or backpacking up in the Cascades) in the North Central Washington area. By far, I am most proud of my role as the father of of my three sons, two daughters, and as grandfather to three grandkids. Hobbies & interests My interests include American history, woodworking, cooking, raising parrotlets, home theater, and traveling around America. I enjoy reading, walking in the nearby hills, target shooting, political debate, and autumn.
