David, the rock climbing extraordinaire. |
"Hey y’all!
I’m David, originally from Atlanta, GA and now living in
Charlottesville, VA. I can’t wait for the summer: biking is my preferred form of
travel since you can cover so much ground, yet still take in the sights and
sounds of the region where you are traveling.
Summer is my favorite season. Since I was in high school, I’ve been
lucky enough to do something different each summer, from going to the World Cup
in South Africa to raft guiding in Tennessee to mountaineering in Canada. And a
benefit of my job as a high school teacher is that I can keep adventuring during
the summer! After working at an international school in the Dominican Republic
for two years, I relocated to central Virginia, where I’ve taken up kayaking and
rock climbing in addition to enjoying frequent (hilly) bike rides with the
beautiful Shenandoah Mountains as a backdrop.
I love teaching in the classroom, but nothing beats the
experiential learning and growth that comes from going on an adventure. I can’t
wait to meet you and for our super-duper biking extravaganza to
begin!"
