Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, David grew up with a deep appreciation for the outdoors and wild places. As a young boy, he followed his dad around on many hunting and fishing trips, galvanizing certain species and hunts that remain close to his heart to this day. Most notably, Moose and Whitetail hunts were a regular yearly pursuit, but mature Whitetails became his passion. He’s been a dedicated operator for close to 40 years, a licensed and bonded Outfitter, a founding member of the POAA, the precursor to The Alberta Professional Outfitter Society - also a past Board member of APOS, along with serving many years on their Discipline Committee - including a number of years as Chair.

He’s done the video and TV thing, been mentioned and featured in various hunting magazines and books over the years, along with being a ‘Wise Award’ recipient for Outfitting Industry Conservation Award through AHEIA in Alberta.
