A dancer who has appeared on PBS's Great Performances and has performed extensively on three continents . . . an instructor who has taught at some of the most highly regarded schools of dance . . . a humanitarian who was on the front lines working with and comforting both those who were afflicted with AIDS and their loved ones during the crisis's darkest days in the 80's . . . a consultant in computer-based training who has worked with and led projects for Fortune 500 companies and the Top Gun School . . . a ghostwriter, editor and book coach for nearly thirty years.  In short, an incredibly impressive career by any measure, but when you learn all the formidable obstacles that David Christel had to overcome to accomplish what he has, you will have found a new and true hero.
