Dave grew up in Central Nebraska and moved to Colorado after high school in 2007. He found his passion for the outdoors through camping and skiing.

After taking an environmental science class at Colorado Mountain College, Dave realized that this was his career path. He has since become more focused on water.

Dave will graduate from the Front Range Larimer campus at the end of the fall semester with an Associate’s in the Arts. He will begin his Bachelors in Watershed Science at Colorado State this fall. 
During the internship, he is studying debris flows and using paleo markers and super elevation to determine how much material was carried down drainage chutes in Boulder Creek during the September storms. Dave is part of CZO, Suzanne Anderson Team.
