Dave O'Donnell was named the head coach of the Anne Arundel Community College golf team in the fall of 2021.  

O'Donnell grew up around the game of golf, starting play at age seven at DuBois Country Club in Western Pennsylvania and later working at the same club while being a four-year letter winner of DuBois Area High School's varsity golf team and tennis teams. He continued his golf career at Millersville University, earning a degree in government and political affairs, emphasizing international relations. He is completing his Master's in Public Administration at the University of Pittsburgh. 

In 2022 he led the Riverhawks to runner-up finishes in the MDJUCO championship and Region 20 tournaments. In 2023, the Riverhawks won the MDJUCO championship and again was runner-up in the Region 20 tournament. The Riverhawks have had six players earn all-conference honors and four players on the all-region team since 2022. During his tenure, he has had five players earn a spot on the NJCAA All-Academic team and, in 2023, was recognized as an All-Academic team. 

Coaching is in O'Donnell's blood; his father, Kevin, coached the PSU DuBois golf team after successful stints as head golf and wrestling coach at DuBois Area High School. Before joining the Riverhawks, O'Donnell was the assistant girls' tennis coach at Hempfield High School in Landisville, Pennsylvania. 

O'Donnell is a member of Rolling Road Golf Club in Catonsville and serves on the Advisory Board of Puppies & Golf. Additionally, he holds memberships at Hershey Country Club – where he competes for the club's team in the Golf Association of Philadelphia Matches each spring – and Sunnehanna Country Club, the home of the prestigious Sunnehanna Amateur.

O'Donnell is the Director of Development for the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry (ASCO). He and his wife, Elizabeth, reside in Baltimore with their dog, Rooney.
