DaveHo is a person. Dave Horan is a guy who resembles a real software designer and has convinced his employers at Penn State University that he’s good at it. To be fair he did get his degree in Information Science and Technology and has been at this whole software thing for almost a decade now, but he still believes that he’s got some more learnin’ to do.
In his former life, Dave earned his degree in Music Education, determined to share his passion for music with young people. He discovered that he’s not so good at that (or the young people he sought to share with weren’t as passionate), so he’s moved on. However he doesn’t feel the degree was a waste of time and his parents’ money. Through his time at Penn State he got to experience some fantastic musical moments and still retains many friendships formed during that time. He still pursues music and his main outlet is performing with the Harrisburg Choral Society, where he currently serves on the Board.
Wherefore art thou DaveHo? This moniker emerged from his time with the Dreamers, a doo-wop/acapella singing outfit he was a part of while in Phi Mu Alpha, the music fraternity. When setting up gig lists, they used first names, but as there was another Dave in the group, and his last name also began with “H”, Dave was being listed as “Dave Ho”, and that’s how they were announced: “This gig will have Kevin, Mike, Adam, Chris, Doug, and DaveHo”. It stuck, so it was adopted as a persona. Thus DaveHo, and daveho.com.
DaveHo currently lives in Central Pennsylvania with his wife of 10 years and two boys.
