Steve is an air traffic controller at the busy Chicago Center
in Chicago, Illinois. He is a big fan of THE AMAZING RACE
and has always wanted to be on the show. He has traveled
quite a bit, especially recently, when he went to Russia
with his wife and adopted his daughter, Olivia, which he
describes as the most exciting moment in his life. He is
fascinated by different countries and cultures. He loves
watching Andy Griffith marathons on TV and eating pepperoni
pizza for breakfast. He loves golf, bowling, movies and
Chicago sports. He describes himself as "large, funny
and friendly," and compares himself to actor John Candy.
Dave is 43 and
works with Steve as an air traffic controller. He has been
married four times and his children are grown; in fact,
he is a grandfather. He loves woodworking and bowling and
is a big fan of reality TV. He describes himself as "funny,
outgoing and persevering." He compares himself to Woody
Allen and Cosmo Kramer. He doesn't know any foreign languages,
but can swear in Spanish. He is a perfectionist, and that
makes it tough to be overweight. His biggest upset was when
he and Steve made an operational error together at work,
causing two planes to get too close (four miles). They were
both decertified and had to go through retraining together.
He wants to go on THE AMAZING RACE primarily for the competition
and believes he and Steve will do very well.
