About Me

I'm Dave. I'm 30 and married to Melissa. She's beautiful and amazing. I currently live in Birmingham, AL where I have the privilege to work with students at a church here in town. Mostly I got MySpace just to keep up with my students. The best layouts ProfileGenie.com

My Interests

I like the outdoors, disc golf, reading, rock climbing, martial arts, the beach, warm weather, working out, watching The History Channel, learning new stuff, ping pong, and hanging out with totally cool people. Training MMA. It's good to challenge yourself and try new things. You should periodically ask yourself, "When was the last time I did something for the first time?"

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can tell me what chairs would look like if our knees bent in the other direction. Also Strong Bad, Tyler Durden, Peter, and Matt Hughes. Not necessarily in that order. Be sure to drop by and say hi to my friends because they are some of the coolest people I know! View all of Dave's Friends

My weekend: a ghost, a golf cart, and too much free time

This was a good weekend. I had the opportunity to speak at the middle school retreat for Dawson Memorial Baptist Church. What made it even better was that Unfettered (minus Lauren) was leading worship...

Temper tantrums and church league basketball
