Dave started playing American Mahjong and fell in love with the combination of strategy, social connection, and the simple joy of getting people around a table. What began as a hobby turned into something bigger when he started teaching and realized how many people were looking for exactly this kind of experience.
Now an official instructor with the Beverly Recreation Department and a partner with Beverly Main Streets and the Beverly 400 celebration, Dave is building a local mahjong community from the ground up. His teaching style is patient, hands-on, and designed to get you playing as fast as possible.
