Episode Description
Davis McCraig was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia. In 2001 David and his wife Karen lost their only child, 14 year old Joelle, to an undiagnosed brain tumor. David works as a Quality Service Analyst for Community Living British Columbia. As a youngster David played soccer and represented Canada in the National Youth and Olympic team levels. His passions include singing, song writing and anything to do with snow. His greatest joy was being Joelle's dad for 14 magical years. His greatest challenge ever since has been finding a reason to get out of bed. Music helps.
