“I always wanted to leave a footprint on this earth, and I knew that I did once I became a father. I want to lead my life by example for my children. I believe that there are many opportunities to give back to our communities and we all have unique skill sets to do so. I wouldn’t be on this path and journey if it wasn’t for my family and friends. I’m extremely grateful and excited for what is yet to come!” - David Parizh
