David lives on the northern edge of Atlanta with his wife and great large group of friends. When they aren’t there, you can find them at their cabin in the North Georgia Mountains or at the Gulf Coast. It is also a full-time job keeping up with the travel, work, and life experiences of their two married daughters. David enjoys playing golf and tennis and wishes he could play more often. He is the author of “Swing Thoughts,” a book observing the intersections of golf and faith. He delights in his role as “ops guy” for a men’s retreat ministry Souly Business, which has hosted over 60 weekends and engaged with almost 6,000 men. During the fall David remains a steadfast fan of the Tennessee and University of Virginia football teams, and believes weathering the ups and downs of the seasons is great training for his chosen profession.
