Who is Dave?

Dave is an official in the Portland, OR area. He does regular high school games (mostly JV - I think he's in his second or third year there) and tons of rec games (probably 12 years). He is quick witted and very sarcastic sometimes, but never in a regular high school game. He likes to play with the minds of rec league coaches and players, but it should be noted that he never says anything mean-spirited or of a personal nature (like a racial or religious remark). To my knowledge (and I've known and worked with him for almost 10 years) he has never been involved in a fight, or had any incident that escalated to a confrontational level.
He has moved up quite quickly in his association and I think that is a testament to his professionalism in regular games. Maybe he uses the rec games as an emotional outlet.
Off the court, he is relatively shy, and does not want any notoriety. I guess he is content to let me be his "Watson".
