Passions can surface outside our professional careers, and community involvement often encompasses many of those passions. First and foremost is Dave’s commitment to his church. He has sung in the church choir and taught adult Sunday School and catechetical classes. Over the years he has served as congregational council president of two different Lutheran Churches. Dave and his wife Donna were elected to several synodical assemblies, most recently as congregational representatives to the 2013 Lower Susquehanna Synod Assembly. Both are active in Bible study within the congregation.

- assisting the Lancaster SCORE Chapter 16
- working with the “Good Morning Hempfield” business organization
- being a small business member of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- service on the Susquehanna University Alumni Board
