Dave joined Achilles International as Development Manager in April 2024. A lifelong runner, Dave believes that the sport is unparalleled in its power to inspire individuals and build communities. He is thrilled to be supporting Achilles’ mission and athletes after working in development, program management, and community engagement roles for like-minded organizations such as New York Road Runners and Volo Kids Foundation. He has also worked as a running coach for kids and adults in New York and New Jersey for over a decade.
Dave is a graduate of SUNY New Paltz and often returns to his college town to log miles in the Shawangunk Mountains. He lives on the Upper West Side in Manhattan and when not running he enjoys reading, writing poetry, and sitting with a cup of coffee.
