Dr. Dave moved to Truckee, CA, in 1999 to further pursue a more active lifestyle and to start a mobile chiropractic practice. He was a beloved chiropractor to many for over 20 years, and he encouraged his patients to live a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and activity. David’s passion for health extended beyond his chiropractic practice, and he inspired those around him to take care of their bodies.

David loved to be outdoors, pushing his body to the limit. His passion for adventure led him to road bike across the United States twice, complete several ironman triathlons, hike the Pacific Crest Trail, and climb countless peaks in the area. He also enjoyed playing ice hockey, both in college and on the ponds in Truckee. In addition to his love for the outdoors, David had a passion for buying and selling on Craigslist. He was known for his sharp negotiating skills and ability to find the best deals.

In 2006, David married Rebekah, and together they have three beautiful children: Sophia, Charlotte, and Henry. As a devoted father, David went above and beyond, earning him the title of “Daddy Extraordinaire”. He cherished every moment he spent with his kids, whether it was skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling, camping, backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking, or hiking. In addition to being a loving father, David was a talented pianist and a skilled connector of people. As the “Game Master” for the youth programs at Sierra Bible Church, David’s warm and welcoming demeanor made him stand out. He had a unique ability to create an inclusive environment where everyone felt accepted and like they were part of the church family.
