Dave grew up slightly nomadic in the Midwest. Most childhood memories involve exploring the streams, prairies, and forests of Iowa and Michigan. After graduating with a B.S. in Biology from Calvin College, he enthusiastically followed his now wife to her hometown in Whatcom County. After working on stream restoration projects throughout the Nooksack River watershed for 2 years, he ended up dragging his wife back to Michigan to attend the University of Michigan's School of Natural Resources. With a newly minted M.S. they decided to again pack everything up and move across the country to Bellingham in May of 2005. They don't plan on leaving there for a while.
Dave spends his days planning riparian planting projects, talking with landowners, keeping the hard-working corrections crew busy, planting trees, and battling invasive plant species. Additionally, he is honing a monitoring program for completed planting projects, and putting together some methodology research plans for future projects.
He is married to Holly and they are busy keeping up with James, their rapidly growing young son. Dave enjoys exploring the forests and mountains of Washington.
