David Cross is a historical expeditionary, speaker, entrepreneur, and author. He received his BA at Virginia Commonwealth University and his J.D. at Washington & Lee University. He worked as a public defender at the Defender’s Association of Philadelphia for ten years before going into private practice. He served as an Adjunct Professor at Rutgers University. His writings have appeared in a variety of publications, including The Washington Post, The Boston Phoenix, and The Chestnut Hill Weekly. 

When David graduated from college he immediately set out off across the country to meet every colleague, family-member, and friend of Robert F. Kennedy’s that he could find. He put that work into a documentary for NPR, and has been a Historical Expeditionary ever since, looking to find and share history in a way that makes an impact.
