David grew up near Baltimore Maryland and played his high school ball at Gillman. After a successful high school career he attended the United States Naval Academy and played lacrosse all four years. After his career at the Naval Academy he served our country in the United States Navy. It is in the Navy where he first coached at the youth level while he was stationed in California. David spent some time as a volunteer coach at NAPS where the coaching bug really caught hold. He subsequently coached at Furman as the program was starting there and later at the United States Air Force Academy. This interview was a blast. Between David, conducting the interview on Caven Field and the soundtrack from the girls field hockey practice it was just all around cool. This is one of those interviews where I felt like I added very little to the content. David is the real deal and we should all take some time to understand how he is growing young men at St. John's and what we can take from him back to our teams.
