David Birnie David is coming to Stanford for his second year with RUF after graduating from Wake Forest University in North Carolina in May 2008 where he majored in Business and minored in International Studies and Journalism. David was born in Newport Beach, CA and lived in Irvine for 10 years before moving to Atlanta, GA for middle school and high school. While the east coast has a lot of good things going for it, David is glad to be back in California. He has spent the past few summers working at a whitewater rafting company in Colorado , where has developed an enthusiasm for outdoor activities such as rock climbing, hiking, biking (both mountain and road), jogging, kayaking, and everything else. He loves to play a variety of sports: from basketball, ultimate frisbee, and beach volleyball, to golf, squash, and slack lining. He loves to try things he’s never tried before, but most of all, he loves meeting people he’s never met before, so don't hesitate to email him at dbirnie@ruf.org
