About David

My wife and I have lived in downtown Rochester for the past five years.  We have been enjoying all things Rochester from the restaurants, bars, stores, Lytle Pharmacy, Public Library, Paint Creek and Clinton River trails, farmers market, Movies in the Moonlight, Dancing in the Streets, Oktoberfest, the Big Bright Light Show, Fire and Ice, Arts and Apples, kayaking on the Clinton River and our wedding rings from Haig's.  It is a great town.  Outside of the city we enjoy ice skating in downtown Detroit, live theater and music, the DIA, a variety of food from Paki to Polish to Thai to Sushi to "normal American food", swing dancing, any excuse to get dressed up or go on road trips.

I work in Romeo in purchasing and sales at Mac Mold Base.  In my spare time I work out at Fitness 19 and play guitar in the worship band at Epic Church at Emagine Theater. Currently I am working on a Rochester: Then and Now series of photos I would like to see published in book form some day.  Some of my hobbies include kayaking, cycling home remodeling, writing and playing music, photography, checking out more books than I will ever read, movies and history.

Hi,

I am working on a feature film that is helping a great cause as well as offering people the opportunity to get involved with the film. I think this would be a great story to write about and tell people. I just wanted to pass this along. …Or If it’s not too much trouble, pledge on something (they are offering great things!) and if you can also please pass this along to your
friends.

If I can help you out with anything or the production can help you with anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Here is the link for the film:

Hi, David,
Thought you'd like to know that I'll be interviewing the authors of the new Rochester book for an article next month. There will be a book signing on June 28. Check back with Patch for more info about it.

Thank you, David. I appreciate your comments and I'm glad you like the history column. I didn't know about the two sites you listed and I'm glad you let me know. They are both pretty cool. I do know about a book some OU profs wanted to publish. Perhaps it's the same one. I don't believe the historical society was a part of it, though. Send me an email and tell me more about your photo project. Thanks, again!
