Team Member since 2005
David went to Miami of Ohio for undergrad, Medical College of Ohio for medical school, and served his internship, residency, and fellowship at The Ohio State University Medical Center.
He is a full-time cardiologist with OhioHealth in Columbus, Ohio, and still leads a local Walk with a Doc chapter on Saturday mornings at a local park.
David is married to Kristin and has two children, Ally and Charlie, and two poodles, Phoebe and Henry.
Rachael graduated from the University of Michigan (Go Blue) with a B.A. in Psychology.
She then served in the United States Army as a Medical Service Officer prior to earning her M.A. in Counselor Education at OSU.
The prospect of utilizing her professional experience as a leader, resource manager and program innovator while encouraging healthy physical activity, is what initially attracted her to WWAD.
Now that she better understands the impact of the miracle drug (walking) and the vast number of people served by WWAD, she’s hooked! It’s almost as addicting as her girls’ (Grace and Nora) smiles…
Sophia joined Walk with a Doc after discovering the organization while earning her MPH in Epidemiology at The Ohio State University College of Public Health in 2025.
What started as an internship quickly turned into a passion for the mission, and she was excited to officially join the team full-time in spring 2026.
Sophia grew up in Columbus and played soccer at Capital University during undergrad, where she met her fiancé, Justin.
Outside of work, Sophia and Justin love staying active, playing in recreational sport leagues, trying new restaurants, cooking together, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
