Nicole DaVia
Nicole is a native of Rochester, NY and is employed as a Physician Assistant. Ever since she was little, she has loved the outdoors and the ocean. She is an avid collector of shells and minerals, considers herself a “rock hound”, and has a fascination with Cetaceans (whales). Her first real “lighthouse” experience was a trip to Maine, and since then, she has been hooked. She is fascinated by their massive structure, each with its own unique qualities and history. As a board member, she will enjoy helping the OBLHS in educating the public and bringing awareness about the importance of lighthouse preservation.She is also a board member of Riley’s Army, www.rileysarmy.com, a support group that helps children with cancer and their families in eastern North Carolina. This is something she is very passionate about, as she is a 24 year survivor of childhood cancer as well as a recent breast cancer survivor.

Robert DaVia
Robert. a native of Rochester, New York, now calls Winterville, North Carolina home. After serving four years in the United States Navy, he spent nine years working in Emergency Communications (9-1-1) and nearly ten years as a volunteer fireman. These experiences taught him the importance of responsibility, communication and community involvement. After earning an Associates Degree in Business Management, he now works in the accounting department of an Eastern North Carolina Television station. His interest in lighthouses evolved into his creating and maintaining a lighthouse website, http://www.seathelights.com, where he displays photographs of the lighthouses he has visited. He is proud of the fact that his photographs were used in the design and production of a Danbury Mint sculpture of Braddock Point Lighthouse for their Lost Lighthouses series. He also had Lighthouse Trivia questions from his website featured in The Harbour Lights Collectors Society quarterly publication. Over the past several months, Robert and his wife Nicole have worked with other members, manning the OBLHS table at the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse dedication and the Core Sound WaterFowl Museum on Harkers Island. |
