David lives with his wife and fellow BGSU Honors College graduate, Katie, in Bowling Green, OH. They have been married 8+ years and enjoy traveling, food (cooking and eating out), weightlifting, dancing, reading, watching all genre of movies, and spending time with family and friends. In the midst of these activities, David often finds an excuse to think about and discuss how we, as people, can become better versions of ourselves.

David loves the BGSU Honors College! It jump started his intellectual development in meaningful ways and I built an incredible community of friends! He says he is so lucky to have met the love of his life, Katie Denison, in the Honors College as well.
