DAVID RUBIN
Chapter Director
I am David Rubin. I am excited to re-ignite and lead the NY Chapter of FSHD Society.
I was diagnosed with FSHD 16 years ago at the age of 49 and have experienced slow but consistent muscle loss.
I am recently retired after spending 40 years in business advisory leadership roles. Today I spend my time as a board member of FSHD Society, pursing a variety of entrepreneurial opportunities and being a grandfather.
