Dave has been an integral part of the USSOG since 1995. Dave began his career in 1979 as an assistant to Indiana Legend PGA Professional Fred Wampler. Under Fred's' tutelage, Dave became a PGA Class A Professional in 1992 and began a stellar career which peaked in 1987 when Dave became Director of Golf at French Lick Springs Resort, home of the infamous "Hill Course".

One of the reasons the United States Schools of Golf has flourished is Dave's constant, blue-collar work ethic. He has built awareness in the local golfing community by incorporating countywide youth and adult golf clinics! His keen ability to educate his staff in a "common sense" fashion makes him one of our most pleasant PGA and PGTCA Professionals to work for, having over 40 employees under his command.

Dave was also named PGA Professional Merchandiser of the Year for his exceptional sales and marketing techniques he employs in his Pro Shop! Dave not only enjoys the time he spends as a Professional on the range with students, but also aiding and developing PGTCA members with knowledge in the customer/client relationship. His accessibility and success in the Directorship roles of many facets are some of the many reasons why PGTCA is proud to have Dave as one of our board members!
