On the course, Dave has been a figurehead of the Atlantic Canadian golf community for over 20 years. After claiming victory at the NSGA Junior Championship in 2000, Dave landed a scholarship to attend Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC. It was there that he combined his love of golf with the pursuit of marketing knowledge, eventually to kick-start his career as a professional competitor. Victories at the 2008 Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Provincial Amateur Championships propelled Dave’s notoriety, as he turned pro and qualified for the PGA Tour Canada the following year.

After completing two years on tour, injuries forced Dave to the sidelines. But his game remained strong, even while building his entrepreneurial business in Truro, NS. Another NSGA Amateur win came in 2015, followed by recognition as Nova Scotia’s Player of the Year in 2020. While golf had to take a back seat to Dave's marketing ventures, his love of the game never ceased, as his network both on and off the course grew around the sport where his brand has become synonymous. 

After completing what Dave calls the “Corporate Circuit” of his marketing career, he’s now back to pursing athletic excellence in competitive golf. Serendipitously, rules for amateur players that had previously restricted Dave’s publicity have now be levied, which brings new opportunities to combine both golf and business (especially for marketers!). Dave will be going full throttle to document his golf ventures, and growing his network of fellow golf enthusiasts along the way.
