\"\"It is a good thing David is such a patient and considerate person — at 6 foot 7 inches, he could be quite intimidating otherwise. He’s a 25-year-old husband and father who is currently stationed (with his family) in Germany, where he works as a dentist for the US Army.<\/p>\n

David and his wife, Bonnie, both love being active in the great outdoors. They met in 2011 on a medical mission trip to Honduras<\/strong>, married in 2015, and started their family in 2017 with the sweetest, petite-est little baby girl the Flanders family has ever seen. In their free time, they enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee, biking, and running in those crazy, obstacle-course races like the Rugged Maniac. David completed his first half-Ironman at 15 and been hooked on triathlon ever since.<\/p>\n

The happy couple enjoys reading together in their spare time<\/strong>. They both love music and dancing (Bonnie studied ballet in college; David took violin lessons for a couple of semesters, but prefers playing the piano, where his large hands and long limbs are an asset rather than a liability), baking (Bonnie worked at a bakery before they wed; David used to bake a dozen loaves of bread at a time — and would devour two of them all by himself. while they were still warm), and — more recently — building incredible snow sculptures in the winter wonderland they now call home.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video of David playing one of my favorite piano pieces.<\/strong> We shot it just before he moved to San Antonio for medical school:<\/p>\n
