Mr. Dave’s teaching & instructing career has included private tutoring in math and science, 30 years of martial arts instruction, 25 years as a high school teacher, and 11 years instructing an epic outdoor skills program.

In that time, she has become quite expert at planning, shopping, and organizing the food details of every crazy and epic adventure trip our family has ever undertaken.
