From the soccer field to the radio waves, David Suitts has found that leadership comes in a variety of forms. As the two-time captain of his soccer team, David learned the importance of a leader setting a positive example as his team's quests for victory. Over his four years as a starting goalkeeper, his team advanced through the playoffs to the regional championship and state semifinals.
David has also been active in several forms of media. As a radio commentator, he had three pieces broadcast on Atlanta's NPR affiliate. He was named managing editor of his school newspaper as a senior and brought innovation and order to the paper's operations. He has also had two columns published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
