Dave is sick shredder with a kind soul. He’s always down to meet new people to ride with or help a bro out. He always stays positive and tries to have fun, encourages others and never gets upset.

When I first met Davey, he was just getting into wakeskating. Since then, he’s become such a consistent all-around solid rider. He’ll give you a show whether it’s on wake, jet, or rails. He makes sure his tricks are done with his sick, smooth and popped style and he’s getting pretty good at bagging up tricks, including shuv-late flips and lines that come out of nowhere. Not only is he fresh on the water, but he’ll tear up your local skate spot in between classes at UCF. He’s in the process of finishing up editing with partner Keith “Happy Ass” Lant for wakeskate film entitled Esoteric.

Having consistency and determination on his side makes Dave unstoppable. What else can I say? The little bastard has skills. Be sure to check this nice young man out in the future and maybe leave him a Myspace comment (he’s always on and it will make his day).
