He was born and raised in Piqua, Ohio and attended Piqua High School. After high school, Dave worked in concrete construction. From there he went into the plastics injection field.

He was an avid fisherman and hunter, competitively so. Dave enjoyed camping with family and friends, and loved a BBQ and "a good cold beer". David had a way of making everyone feel at ease, making them laugh. His friends were like part of his family. Dave was always the life of the party and had a great sense of humor.
