I know that my experience with David is not unique because over the past few months I have had the pleasure of meeting and hearing from literally hundreds of WHRB alumni (AKA ghosts) who share the same sentiments about David. David’s trust and willingness to provide me the space to be confronted allowed me to grow throughout my time as President. To my surprise, he did not provide me with a solution but instead, David told me that this was exactly the issue the station had elected me to solve and that, despite my uncertainty, he was confident with the station under my leadership. When I became President of WHRB my Junior year, I was immediately faced with the most challenging decision of my life and so obviously, I immediately went to David for his advice. David’s insistence that I could be better has been the catalyst to me becoming the man I am today and actualizing the potential that he has seen in me since Freshman year. Of course, David has been a phenomenal DJ, interviewer, trustee, advisor, salesman, and so much more but in my personal opinion, David’s biggest contribution to WHRB has been his unshakable faith in the incredible potential of the station’s undergraduate DJs.įew adults in my life have ever demanded more from me than David has.
