David settled here in the High Sierra in 1984 after a career as an IBM mainframe computer consultant, working in major cities such as London, Manhattan NYC, Houston, and San Francisco. David was raised and has lived in several countries, and traveled the world. He was attracted to the healthy Truckee lifestyle, and the opportunity to indulge his appetites for skiing and backpacking right out of his back door, and moved to Tahoe after a spell as a skiing instructor in Aspen, CO.
