Dave studied Building Science at Appalachian State University, then spent five years living in an off-the-grid ecovillage where he learned natural building techniques and developed a passion for timber framing. After returning to Western North Carolina, he found his way into cabinetry—a craft that runs deep in his family. Some of his earliest memories are of helping his dad in the shop, and that early exposure sparked a lasting appreciation for the trade.

Dave joined the JAG team in 2016 and now manages cabinetry and warranty work with a focus on quality, detail, and customer care. What he enjoys most about working at JAG is providing real value to homeowners while helping create homes that are energy efficient, high quality, and healthy to live in. When he’s not at work, he enjoys hiking, running, and spending time with his family.
