 Following his graduation from the World Wide College of Auctioneers in Mason City, Iowa, David, followed his father and brothers in a life-long career as an accomplished Auctioneer specializing in the Auto Industry. David had an extensive knowledge of autos, and a stellar reputation of choosing the right way during his professional career; that earned respect by colleagues throughout the auto industry.

He loved fishing in Alaska, and hunting trips to Manitoba. In his early days he was deeply involved in Road Track Racing in Watkins Glen International, and being a member of the Sports Car Club of America and the American Race Car Association. David was comfortable racing his Miata, or Legends Race Cars, to racing stock cars at Pocono Race Way. He became a certified instructor for Stock Car Racing at Pocono. David also enjoyed riding his many Harley Davidson Motorcycles over the years. 

 David was devoted to God, his Christian Faith Walk, and his Family. He was genuine, humble, and understood people that had to work hard each and every day. He deeply cherished all the time he could spend with his wife, children, granddaughter, and extended family; and in quiet ways helped many people he came in contact with over the years.
