CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life

ABOUT ME

Volunteering with the homeless and with kids in difficult situations is my passion. I'm also interested in how people become life-long learners.

I looove bad jokes. I'm the silliest person I know. Even at the age of 26, whenever I go to a nice restaurant with close friends one of them will undoubtedly turn to me and say, "David, please don't embarrass us, ok?"

I compare my real-life experiences to comic books way too often. But can you blame me? The parallels are astounding...

PHILOSOPHY

"I've been misquoted."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught at a school for students with severe behavioral problems in downtown Brooklyn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can totally help you with any school work. I've been a teacher/tutor for over 6 years. At the least I can proof-read something for you!

I can also teach people how to juggle or sing La Bamba
