I have one son, two daughters, and am married (to the same lovely woman since 1984 (26 years and still going)).

My oldest daughter recently became a licensed Pharmacist in Ohio, and is getting married in October.

My son is also in college studying to be a Pharmacist (he's a senior).

My youngest is a CSG graduate and attends the University of Toledo.

I coached both of my daughters in Elementary, High School, and Club Volleyball.

This is my 16th  year coaching girls' volleyball.

I played volleyball at the intramural levels while in the Army and while in college. After college (and the Army), I played in local adult volleyball leagues and tournaments for many years, both indoor and outdoor. Before I finally dedicated most of my volleyball time to coaching, I was playing at least 2 times a week for many years (when it was winter we played indoor, summer we played outdoor (sand)); I really enjoyed the time spent on the court.

I regularly coach USA Club Volleyball, and attend at least 1 clinic a year, which has included USA Volleyball IMPACT, CAP I, CAP II, and CAP III (a 'super-cool' live-in course at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs). [(USA Volleyball CAP Info), (OVR CAP Info), (OVR IMPACT Info)].

I am also "published" as a Volleyball Coach; as part of my CAP II project some time ago, I wrote an article based on one of the ways I have applied statistics to volleyball, which was published by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) in the July/August 2005 issue of "Coaching Volleyball".

Here are draft copies of the article, from the editor who prepped it for the magazine:

I love this game!

I work for a locally based manufacturing corporation as a Performance and Quality Manager for Information Technology projects and services. I have a Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering from THE Ohio State University, and a Masters in Business Administration from Ashland University.

In my spare time (of which I have very little), I keep my wife from divorcing me by being handy around the house. Somehow I have also found the time to "Get the Band Back Together"... We are currently gigging as "Unka Dave and The Constellations" (Guitar, Harmonica, Bass, Drums, Singing, and Live Karaoke!!)... it is a LOT of fun!
