David’s association with Prescott College goes back to when he came to PC as a student in 1969. He graduated with a BA in 1973,
combining his interests in outdoor adventure, earth sciences and photography. After a number of years working as an outdoor instructor,
freelance guide and house builder, he returned to Prescott College in 1979 to serve on the faculty in the Outdoor Action/Adventure Education
Department where he helped to build and sustain the program for 37 years. As faculty emeritus since 2016, he continues his involvement,
doing presentations and mentoring independent studies, mostly in areas of his expertise: snow and avalanche studies, guidebook design,
mountain geography, weather and climate, history of adventure and outdoor education. He is also happy to be a resource in connecting
students with sources of productive internships in these disciplines.
