HEAD COACHES
David is a writer, strength and conditioning coach, and head content architect for Hockey Strength and Conditioning. A Vermont native, he resides in New York City's East Village, where he studies at the Gallatin School at New York University. At NYU, he's focused on enhancing his aptitude for the written word. He also apprentices under fitness-legend and New York Times bestselling author, John Romaniello in all things writing and entrepreneurship.
In the strength and conditioning world, David has interned under Devan McConnell when Devan was at Umass Lowell and served as the head strength coach for the Vermont Lumberjacks junior teams. In 2017, at age 18, David became a certified personal trainer with the NSCA.
He loves the Rangers, reading books, and writing about himself in the third person. He also can't figure out why Brian gets a cool picture of himself here but nobody else does.
