Dave Raue
Dave is the Rock Club’s General Manager. After a long career in the international chemical business, he decided to “pack it in and do something more fun before it’s too late.” After partnering with The New Rochelle Racquet Club, TRC is the result.
Dave’s family pulled him into climbing in 1996. “I’ve always been pretty much of a jock,” he says, “but climbing just blew me away. It’s the most addictive thing I’ve ever done.” If TRC visitors are lucky they may see Dave pulling hard in his 80’s spandex.
Newcomers to TRC are sometimes surprised to learn that Dave doesn’t actually climb outside much. “I’m really a gym rat. I came to all this later in life than most, so I was already doing other outside sports.” Those include kitesurfing, skiing and a little cycling.
Favorite sports venues: Verbier (off-piste!), Outer Banks, Alta, Mt Washington
Dave also likes to dress up…
