David M. Aldridge

I like to think of myself as a story teller.

In my job, I tell the story of what makes Virginia's Blue Ridge a special place to visit.

In my free time, I tell stories about food, travel and sports. You can find most of my writing about food and travel on my blog, From Ballparks to BBQ. You can find most of my writing about sports on Duke Report and USA Today Sports.

Any other time, you can find me in the backyard trying to cook something on my smoker or on the couch binging on Netflix.
