Dr. David Hartman ’82 has the kind of practice where he might be looking in your ears, or down your throat. But when the Times Reporter (Dover-New Philadelphia, OH) profiled Hartman, they took a probing look that uncovered a struggling actor who turned to medical school and eventually settled in Tuscarawas County for the quality of life, including his “hobby farm.”
Hartman, who earned a B.A.in Chemistry from Ohio University’s College of Arts & Sciences in 1982, runs an ear, nose and throat practice—Allergy and Sinus Center—in Galion, OH.
A few of his answers in the Times Reporter’s Personality Profile:
What’s the title of the last book you read? “How to Raise Chickens: Everything you need to know.”
People would be surprised to know … Before medical school, I had a struggling career as an actor in NYC and LA, making most of my acting income doing commercials and daytime TV, but I was once in the opening five minutes of a B-film titled “Showdown” (1993) in which I had a fake beer bottle (made of sugar, actually) smashed over my head, and then I was tossed over a couch by a very large, party-crashing thug — what a hoot.
Family Yeah, I love my family more than anything: My wonderful wife, Melissa, daughter Lucy, son Jonas, living happily with … a pony, a goat, two dogs, two cats, three turtles, two hens … and a partridge in a pear tree.
