Going the Distance

When it came to athletic pursuits, the great outdoors didn't immediately beckon to Dave Mackey ’92. He grew up active in Cumberland, Maine, and loved fishing and hunting. But in the sporting arena, he concentrated on traditional “ball and stick” pastimes. After transferring to UNH as a second-semester sophomore, Mackey played soccer for a season, but soon found himself being drawn to wilderness pursuits.
