Dave Hingsburger was one of my heroes. I was fortunate to see him speak live once and meet him afterwards. His newsletter for Direct Support Professionals was pure gold every week. He consistently challenged us all to offer best supports to people we serve.

He was a straight shooter and was willing to tackle important topics like sexuality that a lot of leaders in the disability space didn't cover. His death has left a huge hole in the community. However, we are so fortunate to have his legacy in which he so graciously left us countless literature, videos, lectures, and other materials that he created to advocate for the full rights of citizenship of all people.

So jealous that you got to meet him! He was one of my heros, too. He changed the way that I looked at supporting people in general. I wish that more people knew about him.
