Dave was elected to the Road To Hope Board in 2015, and has been an active volunteer prior to that. His interest has arisen from his association with other members of the Board, as well as to some of the residents of RTH. Dave is a native of Columbus, and is proud to be a third generation Buckeye. He attended The Ohio State University, receiving his BS in 1979, and graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1984. Since that time he has been a resident and practicing veterinarian in Lorain County. Dave and his wife of 17 years have a combined family of 3 grown children. Dave has an interest in music and history, and makes an attempt to play golf when he can. He received the gift of sobriety in 1994, and has been an active member of AA since that time. He sees his service to the RTH as one of many ways to give thanks to God for the many blessings he has received.
