David has been About's camping guide since 1997.
Education:

From David Sweet:
As your camping guide, my goal is to provide you with a virtual campground where you can pitch yourself in front of your monitor for awhile and explore the topic of camping. Whether you're gearing up, looking for a campground, planning a meal or needing advice, you'll find it at About Camping. To help you find a campground, I've compiled extensive directories of campground links and reviews. For the campground chef, I have a growing library of submitted camping recipes, cookbook suggestions and cooking gear tips. I frequently review camping gear with photos and links to comparison shop. Otherwise, I'll be blogging and adding articles about camping tips, suggestions and resources.
