Dave is a Professional Engineer and Sr. Project Manager, currently working on projects across the country. He is also a Lamar University Civil and Environmental Engineering Advisory Council member. A lifelong Methodist, he has helped lead several youth mission trips through the UMARMY program, has led Sunday School classes, and is a past lay delegate of the Texas Annual Conference. A recent move to be closer to two grandsons has brought him to the Waco area and the Mid-Texas Conference.  He currently volunteers in a First Methodist Waco student ministry at Baylor and teaches a Sunday School class of families with young children at FMW. As Conference Lay Leader, his vision is to grow lay leadership throughout the Mid Texas Conference, from our smallest congregations to the largest, in lightly populated rural areas and in our largest metro regions.  It is only through Christ-centered churches that we can fulfill the great commission.  It is time to sow seeds for a great awakening.
