Dave is a graduate of Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. He also was a local high school basketball and baseball standout at Greendale Martin Luther HS. Dave coached high school basketball post-graduation into his mid- 20’s at Milwaukee Hamilton and Martin Luther High School. Dave eventually focused solely on business development- working for several fortune 500 companies, including 13 years with Starbucks Coffee Company.
The love of basketball was rekindled when his daughter, Paige, started playing in 4th grade. As Dave states: “….I absolutely fell back in love with basketball in 2011. I realized my calling was to coach. Playing and coaching basketball is the best part of my day and a true calling- I love impacting players both on and off the court…” Dave followed his calling and has coached all levels of basketball: youth, middle-school, high school and college. Dave coached at the D2 level for the University of Wisconsin Parkside Women’s program in 2016. He also founded Milwaukee Lynx Basketball, a girls AAU program out of Hales Corners, where skill development was the cornerstone of the program. As Dave states, “...I didn’t recruit, and was somewhat naïve about what AAU basketball had become since I played it. I just focused on teaching the basics, shooting, ball-handling, weak hand development, and defense-- skills I learned were important at an early age. Eventually I was asked to expand, so I expanded slowly and with the right people and players …”
In terms of developing himself as a coach and trainer, Dave did things the old fashioned way. “…I went to every coaches clinic, talked to as many coaches as I could and volunteered my time at any camp that would have me. I didn’t ask to get paid, I just wanted to learn as much as I could and develop relationships with the right people….I met with whoever wanted to talk basketball.”
Dave joined Pure Sweat Basketball in 2017, one of the most respected skill development outfits in the country, and now an international brand led by NBA skills trainer Drew Hanlen.
