Hello, My Name Is . . .

Hi,

I'm Dave Gill, an optometrist with Sears Optical in Columbus for the last seven years. I also work outside of Sears a couple of days a week in a surgical office handling pre- and post-op cases, mostly cataract, corneal transplant and refractive surgery. This is my third international mission, and my second with Leona who led the first mission on which I participated and is a big part of the reason I've since dedicated two weeks of my year to international missions. I'm also look forward to reuniting with Lisa Greene, O.D. and Melanie McVey - La Gringita! All three share a same very low and laid back energy . . .

I keep busy with my two kids, my nine year-old daughter and ten year-old son - very busy! I'm an amateur painter, play Ultimate frisbee, and occasionally play my drums left over from my musician days. I somehow volunteered to teach Sunday school at my church about six years ago, and have yet to figure out how to "retire".

I was unable to participate on a mission last year, but I'm very much looking forward to working with Leona and the rest of you in September.
