Dave hails from the mountains of Southern Virginia, and has been playing euphonium since the age of 10. He moved to Pittsburgh in 2002 to attend Carnegie Mellon University for Mechanical Engineering. There he minored in Music Performance, played in the CMU Wind Ensemble, and was 'El Presidente' of the Kiltie Band, conducted by "Director for Life" Paul Gerlach. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon in 2006, Dave embarked on a cross-county bicycle trip. After a few years working as an engineer, he is now once again in school, this time as a Graduate Student in Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon.
Awesome cross-country bicycle trip
