I am a successful small business owner with 20+ years of experience specializing in multiple disciplines of Design and Development. I have over 20 years professional experience in Custom Home and Landscape Design and over 20 years professional experience as a Graphic Designer and illustrator.

I also work to support independence and self-sufficiency in others through educational programs aimed at building skills, managing resources and growing food. I am the co-founder of Modern Steader and co-developer of the Edible Learning Lab, a lesson-based food education program developed to instill basic skills and knowledge in students to empower and encourage healthy lifestyle choices.

In my spare time I like to travel and seek adventure. I strive to explore new things and continually challenge myself. I am rediscovering my passion for Photography. Read about my adventures at WildernessDave.com.
