I can't express how excited I am about life. I'm an optimist. I believe this year will be the best year of your life. My goal for Hurricane Dave University includes a yearly summit in late 2025, dynamic online courses, and meet-ups at https://hurricaneshub.com. It's live right now; please check it out. Office hours are coming soon, and we can network with others in the radio, record, and film industries. The last few years have been tragic for so many of our colleagues.
Like you, the pandemic was one of the most challenging years of my life. With no end in sight, more and more people are being released from radio, television, and the film industry. 

Here's the upside. It is also the greatest time ever when it comes to building my relationship in faith. It was exciting because I could work from home and spend countless hours with my wife and youngest kid, Brooklyn Amya. 
Join the tribe, and let's build together.
