Dave Mackey grew up in a (poorly insulated) two bedroom, one bath house in (middle-of-nowhere) Westerlo (New York) along with his parents and six (younger) siblings.
His life has been filled with change, adventure, and often hardship. Dave has an insatiable, lifelong hunger for learning across a wide variety of subjects. He enjoys laughter and stimulating intellectual conversation but struggles mightily with small talk. He loves to learn from people of diverse backgrounds.
He is husband to the beautiful Sheila and father to the lively Asher. They have three cats (Hermione, George, and Phoebe) and one hedgehog (Mercy).
