Founder & Executive Director

The best day of David’s life was the day he got his first bike. Riding a bike exposes us to the elements, and puts us in touch with our environment and ourselves. But thousands of young people in the District lack this opportunity. Since 1991, David dreamed of applying the knowledge he gained working for environmental nonprofits to the underserved youth of D.C. He also draws on his considerable knowledge and skills gained as master mechanic at one of Georgetown’s busiest bike shops. Founding Happy, Joyous and Freewheeling is the realization of this dream.
