Dave came into extreme martials arts and jumped right in like he was one of the young guys, I couldn't believe how much energy Dave had. He would train really hard and I believe he LOVED every minute of it. He was an insiration to a lot of us young guys. He will be missed. RIP. Dave. O ya, he would also tease me about winning the Naga belt and I never did. Ps. That still is a goal of mine. Lol.
