Meet David

What is your job title?  

I am a Programmer Analyst but consider myself a software developer. 

Where did you complete your studies?

I have a science degree from the University of Winnipeg, of which I am very proud. 

What is your secret superpower?  

You think it and I can write it down. You will be amazed at how accurately I can express your thoughts on paper. 

What is your hidden passion?  

Used bookstores. I lived in Montreal for 18 years and I watched them slowly disappear, one by one. In Ottawa, the basement of St. Vincent de Paul in Westboro is a good source of second-hand books, music, and movies, but the best is Berry & Peterson Booksellers in Kingston.  

What is your guilty indulgence?  

I have watched every James Bond movie at least once, and I collect original editions of novels by Erskine Caldwell.

What is your unknown / hidden talent?  

I can skip stones without peer. I also make the best soup.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?  

Everyone knows that I have ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), but people don’t understand the impact it has on my life. What works for everyone else doesn’t work for me, in so many ways, on so many levels – and I always wanted to know how lightbulbs work…
