About David Ancell
If you are reading this, then maybe you're either bored or have mistaken this page for the home page of a celebrity. Seriously, though, my name is David Ancell. I was born 34 years ago in a small town in southeast Missouri named Sikeston. It's known for the restaurant that is the Home of Throwed Rolls. I lived there until my graduation from high school in 1993 and then want on to college and then pharmacy school at the University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss. I graduated in 1999 with my Doctor of Pharmacy degree and am now a pharmacist. After graduation, I lived and worked in Memphis, Tennessee for ten years before marrying my lovely wife Yana. I moved to the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina just before our wedding on August 8, 2009.
Most important to me is to love and serve God and his Church. I did not grow up going to church, but somehow God gave me the grace to seek him. I have been Catholic since my baptism in 1991, and it is my desire to make Jesus Christ more known and loved. I believe that the Catholic Church is the Church founded by Christ, and I believe all that the Church teaches, including the more difficult teachings that our media loves to ridicule. I love to talk to people about it, and in fact I was involved in RCIA, the process by which people enter the Church, for a number of years. I love to go to weekday Mass and Eucharistic Adoration when I can. My spiritual life has been greatly helped by the practice of frequent confession. I say this not to boast on myself, but because I want all to know about the great graces that God has made available to those who seek.
You could say that I am an electroholic. I enjoy just about anything that consumes electricity. At one time, I was a fan of Microsoft Windows, but I switched to Macintosh in 2006 and never looked back. Doing desktop publishing and audio editing are a lot of fun for me. My wife and I love to travel, and we have been many places together since we've known each other. Besides that, we love to hang out with friends, especially young adult Catholics.
