Dave and his wife, Coleen, moved to Big Sky full-time in August 2023. They began vacationing in Big Sky in 2007, purchased a lot in Aspen Groves in 2016, a condo in Cottonwood Crossing (Town Center) in 2019, and built their current home in Aspen Groves between 2021 and 2023.
Prior to moving to Big Sky, while residing in New Jersey, Dave earned a BS in Engineering at NJIT and an MBA at Monmouth University, and worked in numerous engineering, management and consulting roles until retiring from full-time work in July 2023. Dave worked in construction during his college years and has volunteered on Habitat for Humanity construction projects over the years. Dave served as a Board member of “Building & Grounds” committees in various organizations over the past 15 years. As a Buildings and Grounds board member, Dave reviewed and approved architectural plans and proposals for renovations and alterations to each organization’s respective facilities.
Since moving to Big Sky, Dave has worked as a mountain host at the ski resort and started a handyman business to serve local homeowners. In addition to skiing and handyman work, he enjoys hiking, mountain biking and fishing. He has also embraced the culture and beauty of his new home state, reading historical accounts of Big Sky and life in the Gallatin Valley and Bozeman areas. Dave believes his experience from living and building in Big Sky, serving on various building-related boards, and performing renovations on both historic and contemporary homes gives him the ability to objectively review proposed designs for the BSOA community.
