Roadrunner Spotlight-David Goff
1. Where are you from? That is a complicated question for me! I was born in Washington D.C., and spent most of my youth in the Maryland suburbs of that city, except for a year in Denver, Colorado when I was in 2nd grade, and two years in Clarksburg, West Virginia, which happened to be my freshman and Sophomore years of high school. As an adult, I continued my parent's pattern of moving around a lot, living in Pennsylvania, Southwest Virginia, and Tennessee. Tennessee has been my home now for almost 30 years. 2. What is your favorite movie? The original Star Wars (since retitled A New Hope). A close second would be the Lord of the Rings movies (which of course are not as good as the books, which are my favorite books!). 3. What are you currently reading? I typically read 3-4 books at a time. Currently 4. What are you currently listening to? I have a very eclectic love of music. I like something in just about every genre from classical to country, though not every song in any one genre. "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten is one of my current favorites. 5. What is your favorite thing about teaching at AE? There are two main reasons that I like being at Austin-East. First of all, I love working with our students! They are what keeps me here,
Another, very personal reason for my commitment to serve at A-E is because of my faith. Most of you know that I am a Quaker (Society of Friends) Pastor. For me, that is less about talking or preaching to others than it is about service. I believe that the time I spend working with our students is a true "ministry", not because I preach religion to them (I don't), but because it enables me to help them learn to make wise decisions that will impact the rest of their lives.
