About David

When David's father had a stroke, he cut his project-management job to part-time so he could help with appointments and errands. He realized he was driving past three other families on his block doing the exact same thing — alone, exhausted, no backup. Now he fills his free hours with CaringDrivers, mostly evenings and weekends.
