He much prefers to go by "Big Dave"...Students and parents also seem to
enjoy calling him that rather than "Pastor Dave". Big Dave comes to us
from Southern California even though he is a home grown product! After
coming to know Christ at Valley when he was a freshman in high
school, Big Dave went on to pursue a Bible Degree from The Master's
College. He continued on to pursue a Seminary degree from Talbot
Theological Seminary, while getting valued experience at a local
church with middle school students. He is married to the love of his
life Meredith and has two children: Audrey and Donovan.
Hobbies: I am a die hard SF Giants and SF 49er’s fan. I love to fish. I like to
golf and play basketball. |
