More Information About David
By day, David Dashifen Kees (they/them) is a mild-mannered software developer working for Georgetown University. By night, they're essentially the same thing, except asleep. Dash has worked for both public and private universities since 1998. The one and only job they've had outside academia lasted a mere eight months before they left the real world and scurried back into the warm embrace of the ivory tower. Most recently, Dash has branched out, earning a master's in divinity that they're unsure what to do with. They’re for the Alliance, use two spaces after a period, and you can pry the Oxford comma from their cold, dead hands.
