Dave has been a trusted friend and confidant for about 10 years and he is one of the most considerate and loving people I know. In the past Dave rented a house for him and his family to live and I've never known someone to take care of a rented place like he did. On several occasions he went well above and beyond the usual yard work that was required by the lease. With the owner's permission he has cleared brush, provided the labor for re-roofing the house and has treated the house just like his own. Without hesitation, I would trust Dave with anything I have including my house.
