David taught History at Scottsdale's Coronado High School for thirty years. The book is chock full of examples of his teaching style and includes reproductions of his tests, some of which you might not even pass; don't worry, he's added a section with the answers.

His life went beyond the classroom and athletic fields. David accounts for his time as an international traveler, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and running fourteen marathons including Boston. He discloses details on how he was able to accomplish all this and maintain a balanced home life with his wife Susan and their two daughters Julie and Lisa.

Finally, David has done something unique in this memoir. He has reached out to the past and connected to some of his former athletes to discover where they are in their lives now.
