Dave Martins, OUTSPoken Program Coordinator

If you had to listen to 3 songs over and over again for the rest of your life, what would they be?

Toto – “Africa”
Elton John – “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”
Dave Matthews Band – “Satellite”

Where are you originally from and how did you find YPI?

I am originally from Tiverton, RI, and I came to Providence to study for the Roman Catholic Priesthood. Upon leaving Seminary and coming home I began to get involved in the LGBTQQ Community and heard about Youth Pride. When this position was posted, it was exactly what I was looking for.

What was/is your favorite and least favorite subject in school? (high school/college)

High School: My favorite subjects were History, and English, my least favorite was Math and Science.
College: I loved my Philosophy and Theology classes, and maintained a dislike for Math and Science. You know what they say about the left side of the brain vs. the right…totally true.

What’s your favorite hobby?

I don’t have a terribly extensive amount of free time to cultivate a hobby. I do love to read and write, even if its only a little bit everyday.
