Before radio, I was a pro soccer goalie and a trivia writer for Dixie Cups. Now, I co-host the award-winning "Beth & Dave" morning show on Lite 98.7 and a top-rated midday show on 96.9 WOUR. I was also approximately one-half of the popular "Gomez & Dave " and "Dave & the Fatman" shows, and hosted morning shows in Albany, Rochester, Boston and Salt Lake City. I've been an official Heisman Trophy voter since 2013. When I was 10, I wrote newsletters for the neighborhood on my mom's old Royal typewriter. I'm a dad to Dashiell, a "stad" to Katie, Jill and Jack, and a hubby to Beth. I enjoy cycling and golfing all over the Mohawk Valley, I love sushi and hate cilantro.
