Dave Whiteside,
Treasurer
(Term 2009-2011)
1987-93ish (best 6 years of my life); Tuba...2-year Rank Captain
Grew up in Mechanicsville, VA where I still live with my better half, Michele. Have served on the MVAA board going on 10 years. I play in the band Naughty Little Monkey with Corey Smith and Mike App (both MVs). I also am a NCAA Division III football official which means I unfortunately only get to see a few Tech games each year (but can probably tell you why you didn't like the call on the field). I currently work as a Sales Manager for a small insurance company. I'm an aquarius, have a small mole on the back of my knee, and enjoy eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches while watching re-runs of Barney Miller.

Married Sarah George (MV Flag '01 - '04, current MV Flag Coordinator) in 2005. After a brief stint in Fairfax, VA, we decided to pursue a location that provided a slower pace of life.
