Dave and Laura at the Vatnajokull Ice Cap in Iceland
I was born in Chicago and raised in Evanston Illinois. My father was a psychiatrist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and he was an associate professor of Medicine at Northwestern. My mother worked part time as a travel agent. I had three brothers one passed away 10 years ago.
My wife and I have been married for 36 years we knew each other in high school but did not start dating until we both graduated from college. Her father was my swim coach and a Michigan grad like me. We have two children Anne and Will. Anne is at home working several jobs in the golf arena and my son Will is working at the Jefferson Hotel in Washington DC. He gets to interact with the Washington elite.
In the last ten years my wife and I have done several spectacular trips and I would recommend them to everyone. New Zealand with our kids is great for the scenery, outdoor activities and the people. A trip to the Galapagos islands allows you to be up close and personal with marine life including seals, penguins, sharks and manta rays. You can literarily stand with feet of multiple breeds of birds without spoking them. And the last trip to Iceland is awesome for its magnificent water falls, birds and volcanoes including an active one. All should be on your bucket list.
