He grew up participating in various 4-H activities, riding horses and snowmobiles. Dave worked as a carpenter for many years and greatly enjoyed the construction trades. He could fix anything from cars, tractors, fences, build barns—you name it, he had a knack for it. Inspired by his father from an early age, Dave’s greatest passion was being an outdoorsman.
