David was a much loved professor in the Department of Early Childhood and Special Education at Valdosta State University. He began his career in middle grades education in 1995, but moved to Valdosta State in 2005. He was the most patient person and his calm personality was appreciated by all who knew him. David cared deeply for his students and colleagues and was always ready to lend a hand at any task.
He was passionate about Project Learning Tree (PLT), Project WET, and Project Wild. He loved overseeing the PLT workshop for teacher candidates. David served as the president of EEA in 2011-2012 and was on the board of the Georgia Science Teachers Association. His friend Lisa Weinstein said it best when she wrote, " As we all know, the true measure of a person is not the letters after his name or the boards on which he served, but how he touched the hearts of others." He was the one of the kindest people we have ever known and we still miss him. |
