The Woodshed Podcast 49 featuring David Tierney

David Tierney is an author, DJ, Vietnam Veteran, and a host of other things. Listen in!For a garrulous guy with myriad life experiences, it is hard to say a little about David. When asked what haven't you done? He replies, "Where is the audition?" David has a sea bag full of stories as juggled and juxtaposed as the parts in a kaleidoscope. Every turn of the barrel has brought a new adventure, not always planned, but always embraced.He has achieved balance in life by embracing the extremes. As a cabdriver his favorite turns have always been soft slow rights. In life, it has always been sudden sharp 180's. He calls it,”walking the knife's edge". One of his many aphorisms about life is that fear makes life exciting. After 3 years he left the French Christian Brothers. Dodging the draft for 2 years, at the risk of perjury, he joined the Marines for 5 years. He unintentionally earned the Purple Heart, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry while serving in Vietnam. He used to hurt 'em, now as a massage therapist, LCMT in private practice for 20 years, he heals 'em. After his 3rd major operation on April 19, 1968, the day of the Boston Marathon he was told he would never walk again, normally. In 1968 he ran and finished 3 full-length marathons. Then what is normal about David, he who slew Goliath?
