B. Background Summary:
----------------------
David Stern was born in New York on Earth. His father is a lawyer, and
his mother is a Professor of Chemistry. He was always interested in the
sciences. He attended the University of California in San Franscisco in
an attempt to live someplace with better weather. He majored in biology
and specilized in the study of extremophiles. He reached the conclusion
that the best place to study them was in space and entered a master's
degree program at Starfleet Academy.

He is a die-hard New York Yankees fan, and follows the team, even while
deployed. He is more than happy to talk about baseball if the subject
comes up. On the LOCKE his XO would advise new crew members to avoid
the subject, unless they had half an hour to waste.

While he was a student at UC-SF, he met Sarah Goldfarb, and began their
long relationship that has produced three children. They have never
married, but remain close, and David sees his children every chance he
gets. They have settled into a routine of deployments and reunions, and
are comfortable with their relationship. Sarah is a phychologist, and
would most likely explain that it's easier for them both to deal with
the danger inherent in a Star Fleet career because they are not married.

David made the transition from the sciences to command under fire. 
While aboard the PARIS he was on an away mission with the ship's XO when
the XO was killed. As the ranking officer on the away mission, he took
command and completed the mission. This resulted in a field promotion,
and assignment as XO.

C. Personality Summary:
-----------------------

David has an analytical approach to life, and this led him to an
interest in science. He was drawn to the study of organisms that live
in extreme environments, and then to space, the most extreme environment
of all. He likes to lead from the front, which can get him into trouble.
