First off, let me say that I am not a Doctor. So if I tell you to lie back on the couch and tell me your darkest secrets, don’t believe me. My psychology background can be written on a grain of rice and my medical background is best described as evil and illegal. Dr. Dave is just a nickname that got pinned on me countless years ago when I used to work for a Department of Entropy contractor and wore those dorky security badges around my neck like an albatross. I suppose it’s better than some of the other nicknames I’ve earned.
I was a Radcon native until I left the nuke biz, moved to California, and got a Master's degree in Enology. It’s not that far of a stretch really. Both industries use similar equipment to process liquids. But wine won’t kill you if you blend it incorrectly. I try not to mention my former career around my coworkers. It scares them.
Why am I listed here? I’ve done lots of cons, hosted lots of parties, studied or worked in various mad sciences, played flaming soccer, tortured a Barney in chains, and was one of the cherry pie social pioneers. Those stories and more could be yours for the price of a drink.
