​David Reynaud 48-years old and has severe Hemophilia A, which he feels is a great qualifier to be able to serve those with rare bleeding disorders. Additionally, he was raised in a “Hemophilia” family and can relate to family members and understand the unique challenges that arise while living and caring for someone with a bleeding disorder. He has access to a wealth of knowledge and experience from his uncle (fellow severe hemophiliac), and his parents, who in the past have been very active in the LHF.

 

He is married to Nicole Fassbender Reynaud, who many may know as Nurse Nicole. She is the nursing coordinator at the Tulane Hemophilia Treatment Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders. They have been married for 22-years, and have a 13-year-old daughter named Watson, a Rat Terrier named Sawyer, a Border Collie named Auggie and 30 chickens.

 

He enjoys cooking, reading, traveling, and is very passionate about the game of golf. Even with a total knee replacement, a fused ankle and a severely arthritic elbow, he can hold his own on the course. Never hesitate to ask him to play should you need to fill a foursome.

 

David would like each one of you to know he is available anytime should you need to speak or meet with him. He along with the board welcome your ideas and visions to continue to make LHF the wonderful organization.

David can be reached anytime at: 225-623-9287.
