J. David Cox

Biography

David Cox is a sixty-something father of two and husband to Sally for forty-four years. He likes tea, cookies, puppies (although he'll deny it), cheap B flicks, and scotch. Dave has done everything from running a medical clinic, racing motorcycles professionally to a stint as a banker. Prior to moving up the coast he was a mediator, arbitrator and business consultant for twenty years. None of this gave him any skills for living off the grid.
