Meet Dave

He’s produced and reported more than 20 documentary specials for PBS, including his Frontline film My Father, My Brother and Me, which explored his family’s battle with Parkinson’s, and Capturing Grace, which tells the story of what happened when a group of people with Parkinson’s disease joined forces with a legendary New York City dance company. Dave was also a radio and television host for nearly forty years, first at Wisconsin Public Broadcasting and then at San Francisco’s NPR affiliate KQED.
