Lastly, an ideal day for David is traveling far away and snorkeling in the ocean among neon-colored coral reefs, hiking on snow-covered trails, or perhaps even sinking a putt on the island green. Additionally, he enjoys fishing – with oars or augers and “lighting the lamp” in his men’s hockey league. David treasures time with friends and family, especially when it involves experiencing the vast array of cultures and cuisines worldwide. After a day chock-full of activities, David enjoys winding down with a riveting crime or mystery novel.
