About Dave

Personal

I have called this fine city my home from 1982, when my family moved here from Calgary, Alberta until 1991 when I graduated from Billings Skyview High School. After living in Wyoming, Colorado, and British Columbia I decided to move back to Billings in 1997 and have been here since. I met a beautiful woman in the summer of 2006 at one of Billings’s great summertime activities, Alive After 5. That beautiful woman, Rachel, became my wife in 2007. We have 2 gorgeous daughters named Madison and Jordan and a handsome boy, Lukas. With a lot of our extended family here in Billings and the roots that both Rachel and I have here we couldn’t have picked a better city to raise our lovely family in.

Business

After graduating from Billings Skyview High School in 1991 I attended Cheyenne Aero Tech in Wyoming to obtain my Airframe and Powerplant certificate so that I could perform maintenance on all types of aircraft. After working in that industry I obtained my private pilot’s license so that I could fly the planes as well. In 1994 I was given the opportunity to run a restaurant delivery business in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It was this opportunity that broadened my potential career path from just aviation to the business world. After living in Vancouver for 3 years I moved back to Billings to obtain a degree from Montana State University-Billings. While attending school full time I also worked full time in different supervisory roles in the aviation industry as well as restaurant/service industry. After receiving my degree (Bachelors in Business Administration – Specialty in Finance) from Montana State University-Billings in 2003 I went to work in the Real Estate industry.
