Dave will discuss his Race Across America 2024 attempt, lessons he learned, and how he is re-channeling this disappointment into more rewarding outcomes in the future. Presenter Contact Info Bio: Dave is a Senior Digital Accessibility Analyst for Hilton, tireless advocate for braille, and an accomplished endurance athlete.
