about david...
David is a certified Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC) trainer through Dragondoor. An RKC is the most intensive training I have been through in my life. This is truly the gold standard for kettlebell certification in the USA. Trust no imposters!
David completed his Masters in Acupuncture at Tai Sophia Institute in Maryland. The program included a three year course of study, along with extensive clinical training. David completed nearly 200 treatments while in school, along with 60 hours of treating in a drug rehab clinic in Baltimore. David is an assistant faculty member at Tai Sophia and a supervisor in the student clinic.
Prior to his acupuncture studies, David studied environmental politics at the University of Maryland. Seeking work that combined his love of the earth and his desire to serve the community, he worked for almost two years at a wilderness camp for incarcerated youth in the mountains of Georgia. He then hiked the entire 2168 mile Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in 2001. Building on this diverse set of experiences, it was a natural progression for him to serve the community's health needs in the treatment room. These experiences have enabled David to bring patience and wisdom to the treatment room.
