David Mankin - Adobe Certified Instructor
David is an Adobe Certified Instructor for Acrobat, which he has taught since version 3. In David’s classes, participants seem to know they’re in good hands, as he mixes challenging lessons with real-world, practical scenarios.
Trained originally as a classical musician, David travels the globe with either his oboe in hand, or his computer in tow, performing in the world’s great concert halls or high-tech training facilities.
Early in his computer graphics career, he discovered the power and flexibility of Adobe Acrobat technology, and has been “spreading the Acrobat word” to thousands of students and lecture/seminar attendees from coast to coast for over 12 years.
When not onstage or behind a computer keyboard, David can be found tinkering with his home-made coffee roaster, fine tuning his espresso machine, or inventing a new recipe or two in his kitchen. David’s adventurous spirit is evident in his musical performances, his energetic computer classes, and his morning cup of coffee.
David chronicles his life’s ventures on his personal blog – Oboerista. He lives in northern Virginia.
