Today's Featured Biography

David Kaufman

After BCC, I was an art/english major for a year, then switched to sciences for a year, then enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, and became a chiropractor. My first two years in Davenport were a trial, as school was tough and I felt a universe from home. My second two years were great, as I got a motorcycle and learned how to date. I returned to the DC area and was a go-fer in a Congressional office for a year while I waited to get boards in order, then practiced as an associate for a couple years before opening my practice on Capitol Hill, four blocks from the Capitol. I am getting my NIH Fellowship in Human Health Outcomes Research in order to participate in a very large study that will hopefully further corroborate the earlier data on chiropractic’s overall contributions to health status, particularly through the immune system.

In my spare time, I started a couple bands, one with Andrew Marton and Howard Simcox. My second band evolved into Land of Malls, which got a great review from Spin, which said the band was “ready for a label, but they need a new lead singer,” which was me! What the hell do the experts know? . . . Land of Malls eventually got international radio play and I got a royalties check from ASCAP. (Apparently, my song “Lesbian With the Bouffant Hair” rocked Singapore.) LOM broke up 2 years ago, but I’m jonesing again to perform.

I’ve continued to practice T’ai chi. For seven years I even adjusted my practice hours in order to work out 5 hours a day (as might an Olympic athlete.) A friend of mine is (was) world champion, and I’ve got my eye on going for the world championship in Chen Village, Hubei Province, China, before too very long. I’ve traveled to most of Asia and have put my nose into T’ai chi schools everywhere to practice, make friends, etc., and the doors are open because my teacher, Ben Lo, of San Francisco, is highly regarded.

I’ve spent a lot of time writing and hope to get something published one day. I’m currently working on a fictionalized history of chiropractic, since the early folks were terrible about keeping good historical records, and yet they left behind a history that one medical historian called “one of the most fascinating chapters of medical history, yet that remains largely unexplored.” I even spoke with one of the old guy chiros, (a woman), who was one of the 2,700 chiropractors jailed in the 1920s. We’ll see if I can drum up interest!

Long after most of you (judging by the bios), I recently got married and became a dad, my wife Tracy and I giving birth to 8 month old Kimble Lighthorse; Kimble for her great uncle that died in WWII, and Lighthorse for my great great etc., uncle, Lighthorse Harry Lee. Tracy is an elections law consultant from Reston and UVA.

I truly look forward to seeing everyone, and my deepest condolences to the survivors of our friends and compatriots who will not make it.
