Dave Foor’s Interests:

One of my goals in life is to leave the world a better place than I found it. So naturally, working within an organization whose mission is to save lives and improve the quality of life around the world was a great fit for me. I take great satisfaction in knowing, as the Microsoft Health Solutions Group grows internationally, that we will be helping countless numbers of people in every corner of the globe. I also write a somewhat humorous, yet informative column for Data Center Management Magazine. In my spare time, I am working on a new book titled, "An Unexpected Journey". It's a work in progress, and won't be out anytime soon. Lastly, when I am not working, writing, riding my motorcycle or in my music studio, I work with other musicians on various projects. I am currently collaborating with a group out of New York City called, "A Different Look", to have them produce some of my music. We've engaged with one song in particular (Dani Girl) that I wrote a few years ago.
