Fathers and Sons

Carl David

Show Description:

Carl David was blessed to have been born the son of a extraordinary father.  The love he was given by his dad was so grand it could never be measured by human means. As Carl grew up, on or off the path of life, he always had the unquestioned love & support of his father. Sam David, truly a renaissance man, set the fatherhood bar to new heights as his warmth, affection, encouragement and wisdom was freely & lovingly imparted to anyone within range but especially to his family.  His zest for life was infinite; his passions without limit. He was a highly respected art dealer, consummate pilot, prospector, accomplished musician, go kart builder, champion billiard & chess player, and explorer with a thirst for knowledge that knew no end. He never quit.....

Carl wants kids who had less than glorious or abusive fathers to break that chain when they are at the plate so they don't pass that negativity to their next generation.  He hopes that today's fathers who are in midst of their own personal torment will realize the damage they inflict by neglect, selfishness, anger and intimidation.  He hopes by sharing his enchanted experience that others who were similarly blessed will also pay it forward and show future generations the light.
