​​Born with an entrepreneurial spirit and a constant need for adventure, David took up dirt biking as a teenager and returned to riding dirt bike in his 40's.  If it has a motor, he is on it, traveling locally and internationally on two wheels with friends and his wife, Spencer.  David enjoyed the Dakota600 event and saw a need to advocate for trail maintenance/development, thus volunteering to take on the task of creating and leading Trail Stewards in 2024 with a great team of like minded riders.

DAKOTA 600

Single track - dual sport - Adventure
