Dave’s journey began in the late forties, born into the family of an Irish cop in Philadelphia, PA.  He grew up in South Jersey an hour from the Jersey Shore and has been a Philadelphia sports fan all of his life.  He found Christ as a sophomore at Glassboro State College, and it has been an exciting journey with HIM ever since. 

Dave earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education Mathematics from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University), a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Education from Florida Bible College as well as a Master of Science in Family Counseling from Philadelphia Biblical University (now Cairn University).   Dave holds a New Jersey Teaching Certificate in Secondary Education Mathematics and a Certificate in Cross Cultural Communications from New Tribes Mission.

He and his wife, Kathie, enjoyed following the Lord wherever HE has led them.  They spent 10 years in Thailand with New Tribes Mission and raised their children on the mission field.  Dave pastored two churches, did youth work, and also taught high school for 34 years. The Lord has been faithful to them and continues to teach them each day just how wonderful He is to His children.
