Dave was born in California 28 years ago. He spent most of his childhood and adolescence there. His mom and dad divorced when he was 12, and when he was 16 he moved to Kansas to spend a year with his dad. He moved back to California to graduate high school.

He joined the US Marines when he was 20. He was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He absolutely loved it there. He was a Lance Corporal. His title was Motor Transport 35-31. He ranked Expert in shooting. Thank goodness his contract ended just short of being deployed to Iraq. I can never be grateful enough.

When he came back from the Marines, his mom and step dad had moved to AZ, so he followed suit and moved in with them. It was getting expensive to live in California. I met him shortly thereafter.

Dave is a very accomplished pianist and acoustic guitarist. He enjoys most of the same music I do. He is extremely creative and bright. He has a great sense of humor and a caring personality.

He is a good runner. He was in track throughout high school, and of course ran non stop in the Marines. He likes to work out when he has the time. He is also a very strong swimmer. He has a huge lung capacity which helps him to swim laps under water.

Dave enjoys video games, as well. He loves to read, he loves to learn, he loves expanding his knowledge. He also loves animals. He is very caring towards them and enjoys playing with them.

He is very tall. He is six feet, three inches. His two younger brothers are even taller. He enjoys using his tools that he got for Christmas one year ago. He is a hard worker and dedicated fiance.

His favorite colors are blue and green, his favorite movies are The Labyrinth and Trainspotting, his favorite bands are Radiohead, Beck, Cibo Matto and West Indian Girl, and he really loves his sleep. He’s the kind of guy who can just keep rolling over and going back to sleep…all day.
