More about David

First Strokes

My coach Chris Barlow introduced me to the sport in 2023. I initially was training for a 1000 mile race in the Yukon but Chris encouraged me to try sprint. In the end he talked me down from 1000 miles to 200 meters. His passion for being on the water is infectious. I am grateful that God crossed our paths.

Off the Water

My number one purpose is being a husband and father. My 3 little kids keep be plenty entertained.
