Dave joined the North Santiam School District in 2009 as Head Custodian at SHS, and later moved to the Assistant Facilities Director position before becoming Director of Facilities in 2020.  He received an AS degree in mechanical design from CCC in 1983.  Prior to his employment at NSSD he worked at Philips Products in Stayton for over 26 years as a lead person, supervisor, field service technician, and service manager.

He enjoys overseeing custodial and maintenance services, as it keeps him busy and the variety that comes with it always makes for an interesting day.  He sees the main goal in facilities is providing a clean, comfortable and safe environment, along with maintaining buildings and equipment, so teachers can focus on providing a quality education for our students.

 He lives in Stayton with his wife Donna, they enjoy traveling and visiting their grandkids, 3 local and 2 in North Carolina.  In his spare time, he enjoys working around the house, and playing in a local pool league.
