Hey there! My name is David Banther, welcome to my site. My wife and I reside in my hometown of Tarpon Springs, Florida, a small Greek influenced community on the water in Tampa Bay. I am a true “Florida Cracker” and enjoy all things (though not always the heat) that this area has to offer.

I have my Bachelor of Science in Economics from Hillsdale College and my Masters of Science in Management (Information Technology) from Colorado Technical University. I am currently enrolled in University of Notre Dame’s online education program, getting my Executive Certificate in Business Administration. I manage our family business for a living, as well as serving on a local city board and on the board of managers for the Tarpon Springs Boys & Girls Club.

Technology, social media, and traveling are my passions; you will find my thoughts on these subjects here on this site on my Lockergnome travel blog “The Forward Cabin“. My other hobbies include “Ham Radio”, weightlifting, politics, and tracking hurricanes. I guess they all kind of sound “geeky”.

I greatly enjoy networking online, so please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments; I want to hear from you!
