Music began for Dave at the age of nine studying with several private instructors.

These lessons continued through high school and included intense training on pipe organ.

Performing for churches on piano and organ has always been part of his life.

Songwriting and exploring various harmonic ideas were early interests as well. Professional / performance work started just after high school.

Dave also began a career in radio broadcasting while in high school.
