From the TODAY Show to higher education conferences, David challenges students to make healthy choices on alcohol and other important issues.

David is the Director of Education and Training for The BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network, and has spent the last decade as a spokesman for healthy choices regarding alcohol and other health education issues. Although best known for his expertise on alcohol issues, he has produced dozens of educational materials on issues ranging from sexual assault, to illicit drug abuse, to domestic violence and high risk drinking. He is also a national advocate for the power of "Peer Theatre," and many of his programs include dramatic and comedy elements, delivering important messages to students in a non-confrontational manner.

David has an excellent ability to connect with the audience and convey a very serious message in an informative, yet fun way. I appreciate the fact that he was able to work in pieces of information specific to Hastings College - it made it such a personal, well thought out presentation.

“David’s humor really won over the audience and got them to listen to his message.  Also, I feel that everyone enjoyed the personal stories and anecdotes he wove throughout his audience.  David was a great investment.  He was one of the most positive experiences I have had in working with a presenter!”

David is available for a limited number of consultations each year. His program “The Real Buzz” is frequently used for new student orientation or alcohol awareness week programming because few speakers have found a way to deliver important health messages in the humorous, respectful, empowering way that David does. His videotapes Eddy Talks! (alcohol abuse) and Confessions of an RA have received numerous awards. His keynote presentations on leadership encourage student leaders to act "from the heart" when confronting ethical challenges.
