In his early career, Mr. Davidson served as a physical education teacher, principal, and adjunct professor at several schools in the greater New York City area.

Chy lives by three essential values: be kind in all personal and professional relationships, hold others accountable without shaming, and add value to everyone you touch. His theme has remained consistent throughout his career: "You don't have to be a star to shine."
