I met David Bartholow at Cornell University before pro Magic: the Gathering was a thing, and we faced off & supported each other in tournaments for many years afterwards.
David was a member of Team Deadguy, one of the top early MtG teams consisting of Chris Pikula, David Price, David Bartholow, Tony Tsai, Worth Wollpert and over time, many others.
Deadguy was often positioned as “the good guys” in the early Magic scene, which fought cheating as the pro game got its footing.
Today, Dave is a math teacher at a Montessori school near Cleveland, and his adventuresome spirit remains intact.
By the time this podcast releases, he may or may not be newly married. :)
He’ll have to less know in response to the video’s release.
(Congrats, Dave!)
