Dave has been working on European cars since his teenage years. He has worked in England and the United States. He also pit crews for various race teams and clubs.

Dave started working on Lotus, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati’s at Atlantic BMW/Alfa Romeo/Maserati/Lotusin 1985. It was also at Atlantic that he began his BMW education. After a few years with Atlantic Dave moved to England (1988) where he specialized in Fiats and vintage Ferrari’s for about 6 months, then switched between two Bristish BMW dealerships. In 1993 he moved back to the States and started his tenure at Checkered Flag BMW/Jaguar/Porsche/Audi.

Aside from doing dealership BMW work he pit crewed for Eurosport and did the 2004 race season with Race Prep Motorsports in the Grand Am Cup series.
