David's Story
Life
Wow, what a trip!
One accomplishment I'm still proud of is our winning the Cross-Country State Championship at Avondale! So many years later I've realized just how few people can ever say that.
I became part of a publicity team that rolled a beer-keg from NYC to LA in 1980. 3200 miles & raised $78,000 for St. Jude Hospital. I later became the National Student Chairman for St Jude.
I attended the first 2 years at Georgia State University on a Cross-Country Scholarship. I would later join TKE fraternity, and serve as Grammateus and EpiPrytanis. I then proceeded to complete my studies on the Doonesbury 7-year plan.
I graduated from GSU in 1985, and was a Distinguished Military Graduate. I completed ROTC & Airborne School while there.
I served in the Military for 7 years, rising to the rank of Captain, and Commanded a Tank Company with the 82d Airborne Division during Operat...Expand for more
ion Desert Shield/Desert Storm. I got out in 1992 when they offered me $32,000 to do so (& rumors began circulating that I would be deployed to Somalia) !!
I've traveled to 26 Countries and 23 States, & have a working knowledge of 4 languages.
I am currently a Project Manager of technology with Verizon Communications, and live in the Parkview High School area of Stone Mountain with my wife of 20 years, Tammy, and daughter Melissa (18). My oldest daughter, Heather (19), followed in the footsteps of her parents and is currently serving our Nation in the Armed Forces (although she didn't follow us into the Army, she will be an Navy Corpsman).
I still enjoy running and participate in Olympic distance Triathlons in GA,TN, SC and FL.I am registered to compete in the 2008 Ironman Switzerland. Watch the newspapers for my name!
