Some where along the way, he met his wonderful wife Norrene and they got married. About 8 years ago they decided to have kids... not kids like parents have children but kids as in started a team from that point on David and Norrene have grown their family each year. Norrene likes to refer to David as the dad to all the guys on the team but he insists that he is the big brother sighting that it makes him feel old to be referred to as "dad".
