Born and raised in a rural area of the Pacific Northwest state of Oregon, Dave discovered his passion for real estate after a successful career in retail management, working alongside industry giants like Nordstrom, May Dept. Stores, Dillard's, and Macy's. In the mid-1990s, he made the decision to pursue his long-held admiration for the real estate profession, embarking on a journey to become a professional realtor. Dave obtained his license, became a realtor, and began practicing real estate in the vibrant market of Tampa Bay.

His early focus was on exclusive buyer representation, honing his skills, and gaining valuable experience. Throughout his career, Dave has collaborated with distinguished real estate companies such as Coldwell Banker and ReMax, immersing himself in successful principles, techniques, and strategies for effectively marketing and selling properties. However, it was in 2002 that Dave received an invitation that would prove to be a pivotal moment in his career. Florida Executive Realty extended an offer to join their team, and Dave wholeheartedly embraced the opportunity. He found in this company the same exceptional standards he once experienced at Nordstrom, with an unwavering commitment to customer/client satisfaction and a host of other outstanding attributes. In 2005, Dave's dedication and belief in Florida Executive Realty were recognized when he was invited to become a shareholder in the Carrollwood office, solidifying his commitment to this exceptional organization. Additionally, Dave is a valued partner with Brokers Title of Tampa Bay, a renowned title company in Tampa Bay.

Dave's approach to real estate is rooted in the timeless values of integrity, comprehensive market knowledge, professionalism, and ongoing education. Recognizing the importance of continuous growth, he has pursued numerous avenues for expanding his expertise. Dave has achieved notable certifications such as CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute), and CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert). He has also completed the rigorous USAA certification, as well as a Hero’s program certification enabling him to assist US military families, as well as the Military On The Move rebate programs.

With every client, Dave and his team serve, their ultimate goal is to empower individuals with the information needed to make informed decisions. Acting as a trusted advisor, Dave ensures his clients are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the real estate market. Through meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to ongoing study, he safeguards his clients' best interests throughout the transaction process.

Beyond the world of real estate, Dave finds fulfillment in a variety of passions. He embraces the exhilaration of aviation through private piloting, explores new destinations with his wife of 34 years, enjoys the tranquility of golfing and gardening, and finds solace in playing the piano. Dave also actively contributes to his community by assisting less fortunate seniors and families, as well as supporting organizations like Disabled American Veterans and Metropolitan Ministries.

Dave's remarkable journey and unwavering dedication exemplify his commitment to providing exceptional service to each client. With Dave by your side, you can be confident that your real estate goals will be achieved with integrity, professionalism, and an unwavering dedication to your best interests.
