David is an avid baseball fan who has been known to squeeze in a trip to the ballpark during business trips and vacations. He is also a sometime middle-of-the-pack distance runner, having completed ten half-marathons and three marathons since 2007. When he’s not at the ballpark or out for a run, you can often find David with his wife and two kids baking at home in Cambridge, MA, playing in their yard, or on the road visiting old friends and new places.
