Dave began his career with boats at a marina on the Mississippi River in high school. The marina sold and serviced Mercury outboards, Glastron runabouts, RiverQueen and Nautiline houseboats, and ChrisCraft cruisers. After college, Dave spent 3 years as a live-aboard yacht captain on a 58' ChrisCraft Roamer. The yacht spent summers in Stillwater, MN and winters in Florida and the Bahamas, which allowed enough hours for him to earn a USCG Masters license for Western Rivers and Intercoastal Waters. One day when on the boat a summer storm blew in and Dave saw it damaging bimini tops, weather dodgers, seat covers and cushions. This inspired him to buy some equipment and learn commercial sewing and upholstery work at a local technical college. It became a favorite advocation then, and now after a career in the corporate world, is his vocation.
