He's also an experienced coach, having coached football for the Club Avispones. He created a summer camp program for Avispones.
David has been involved in camp, too. As a child, he went to Camp Olympia in Texas. His parents started a camp for kids on their ranch in Durango. David is a pretty diverse guy... he first took up waterskiing at the age of nine and has since taught friends how to ski and wakeboard. He's also a guitar player and In fall of 2010, he was invited to audition for Berklee College of Music in guitar and singing. He was accepted, but he choose to go to business school and to leave music as a great hobby.
We welcome David for his first summer. He'll be a cabin counselor and waterski/wakeboard instructor.
