Dave Carr Bio

Your Editor: Dave Carr
July 2004

Welcome Ever since I first put this site together in 1998, I have never included a bio of myself. I'm not sure why, but I think it had something to do with the fact that half of the "home pages" out there are boring details of someone's life that nobody cares to read. So I let the content on this site speak for itself.
However, over time this site has led me to meet people from all over and sometimes it's nice to put a face to a name. I think the kicker last year was when I met someone at a Surf City race who had been reading my site and race reports but had no idea who I was in person. So time to emerge from my e-shell and enter the physical world.
Comments? Send me email at davidlcarr@aol.com.
Thanks for reading!
