Yes, it is me in the tub! I had hair then.
My goal is to create and tell humorous stories that share life’s wisdom.
People like stories! David's background in counseling gives him a wonderful perspective to create and tell his own stories. David tells stories that have a balance of humor and information. All workshops are interactive with everyone telling stories. Stories are remembered long after the event.
