David is knowledgeable about a huge variety of card games and board games. He's an experienced Game Master in several role-playing game systems. I've been gaming with David for over 20 years, and he always makes it a fun experience!

David is a lifelong gamer who has run many types of tabletop card-based and role-playing games. David's creativity and experience keep all sorts of games fun while also running smoothly and according to the rules. David is a very ethical person who is driven by a strong sense of social justice, equity, and inclusion. I have never taken formal instruction from David. That said, I have many years of experience with David's approach in teaching-adjacent situations, in particular as a game-master for tabletop role-playing games with inexperienced players (or long-out-of-practice players like myself). As a veteran special education teacher, it's clear to me that David has the ability to meet beginners through expert players at their level, support them in understanding the game and strategy, and move them forward. David demonstrates patience even with raw beginner adult learners and respects the dignity of everyone involved.

Excellent knowledge of games. Trustworthy past organizer in games and theatre who was aware of safety even before it became a popularly discussed topic. He's been a longtime in-person community-builder in games of all kinds, using his thorough knowledge, and I have participated in his events multiple times.
