Dave Rothenberg’s Supportive Wife
Sharing about his professional success in an interview with RiseUpEight, Dave could not miss out talking about his wife’s ever-lasting support that pushed him to be at the peak of his career.
With a demanding job as a sports broadcaster, Dave would be away from the family most of the time located in different places. But his wife never let his busy schedule come between him and his goals.
When Dave moved to New York undertaking his job at ESPN, his wife came along with him getting herself a job at New York as well.
As he gradually progressed, his schedules became tighter, working longer hours and on holidays. Though his time for his family shrank due to his work, Dave's wife handled his personal aspect without letting the busy work-life impact his professional life.
Lucky, isn’t he?
As the host continued to tell his story in the interview, he talked about the beginning phase of his relationship with Sherry as such,
I told my wife when we first met. I told her what I did and I told her this is what I’m going to do. I pretty much said, “you know, if we were to be together, which I hope we are, this is the sacrifice that I need to make for us to be able to live happily.” And she said “I’m on board.”
Dave’s Happy Family of Four
Dave and his wife’s relationship dates back to 2002, when they first met at Air America. After dating for a while, the sports broadcaster and Sherry exchanged their vows.

Four years into their marriage, the pair had their first child in New York. For the next five years, Dave and his family lived in Raleigh. Later, the couple was blessed with another son.
While he was busy with work changing locations frequently, and spending most of his time away from home, he found himself fortunate that he never had to live apart from his wife.
