Dave was raised in Virginia Beach, VA. and attended church throughout his childhood. It wasn’t until his mid-teen years that Dave made a commitment to Jesus, as he came to the realization that he had the choice to pursue self with the destruction it leads to, or to make Christ his Lord and Savior. He attended Asbury College and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Christian Ministry/Business Administration. After college, Dave worked in management positions in business, while pursuing volunteer ministry opportunities within the church. Dave and his wife, Erin, with their 3 children have been on staff with Emmanuel since 2010.
