ABOUT DAVE
Dave got his start building trails in 2005, fresh out of high school. What began as a job quickly became a career he couldn't imagine doing anything else.
Over the years, he's worked on everything from hiking and OHV trails to mountain bike trails, jump lines, bike parks, and trail restoration projects. Along the way, he's taken on roles as a trail crew leader, dozer and excavator operator, and project manager.
When Dave got into mountain biking at 21, everything clicked. His love for riding gave him a whole new perspective on building, and mountain bike trails became his specialty.
For Dave, the best part of building trails is working with people to bring their ideas to life. He loves understanding what a client wants, figuring out what will work best for the terrain, and helping them think through possibilities they might not have considered.
Whether it's a mellow trail for a leisurely ride or a fast downhill line that helps riders push their limits, the goal is the same: build something that works for the people riding it.
After 20+ years, Dave is still learning, still progressing as a rider, and still excited about the next project.

After years of working with trail-building companies across the country, Dave started Dirt King Dave LLC to take his experience in a new direction. Today, he works on his own projects and partners with other builders as a subcontractor, bringing the same hands-on approach to every job.
