David Crowley family: All on wife and kids
David Crowley is married to his wife, Ericka. The couple has three daughters together – Ava, Alyssa, and Autumn. Speaking about his kids, Crowley said “They ask more questions than most 9- and 6-year-olds do about what their dad does for a living, but for them, they understand that we are a family of service," as per The Cap Times.
Crowley sometimes plays Zelda or Mario Party with his daughters, the publication reported. He grew up on the north side of Milwaukee, where his family moved many times and were sometimes evicted. “What I realized is that even something like an eviction can change the course of a life. And whether it’s for the good or for the worse, how housing really impacts the trajectory, and how housing, ZIP codes can determine futures," he said. Further, remembering his childhood, Crowley said “I wanted to serve my family before I actually sat down and started eating. And so they used to call me ‘governor’.”
