The movie Bella begins with a line, “If you want to make god laugh, tell him you plans.” This line neatly sums up Dave’s experience in the nearly 20 years since graduating from Gustavus.
Since graduating, Dave studied philosophy in a wonderful MA program in Ireland under a wise and fatherly advisor. This was followed by an equally disastrous and miserable PhD experience in Montreal under a wicked and ruthless advisor (at least this is his distinct recollection).
While vacationing in Texas, Dave stayed for fifteen years. For the last 10 years his professional life has been tied to the wireless telecommunications industry. He manages the North American technical training center for a large international telecom gear manufacturer based in Shenzhen, China.
