Beyond the Desk:
Dave grew up playing basketball with his two older brothers, which prepared him well for eventually playing for Coach Billy Donovan as a walk-on at The University of Florida. A Florida native, he now resides in North Tampa with his wife and five children (plus the family dog and guinea pig), where weekends are filled with outdoor projects and shuttling his kids back and forth. Dave’s favorite vacation spot is Mackinac Island in Michigan, where his kids love biking the 8-mile circular loop around the island.
