Dave is an Ohioan who has had the opportunity to experience the wonder of Crested Butte for several months each year since his retirement from Procter & Gamble in the year 2000. He pursued his interest in horticulture after his retirement and completed Master Gardener training. He managed a community garden in an urban area of Cincinnati for a number of years. Dave has developed a consuming interest in the wildflowers and other mountain flora since coming to Crested Butte, and takes great pleasure in sharing with visitors what he has learned from study and from others.
