| Dave started canoeing with his dad in southern Ontario when he was 4 years old. Through his younger years, he paddled on many small lakes fishing with his dad. His dad taught him the basics about canoeing but the biggest thing Dave came away with was the majesty of the canoe, and how he felt like the canoe and water came together as part of him as he paddled. |

| There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace. The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost forgotten, the open door to waterways of ages past and a way of life with profound and abiding satisfaction. – Sigurd Olson |
He ventured up to Northwestern Ontario
to go to Lakehead University in Thunder
Bay, Ontario, studying Forest
Technology with an emphasis on Fish
and Wildlife. In the summer of 1973 he
obtained a seasonal Portage Crew job in
Quetico Provincial Park. There was no
turning back. It was clear from that
moment on that Quetico was to be his
home for good. He served as a Portage
Crew member, a Park Warden, a
Conservation Officer, and ultimately
became the Assistant Superintendent for
Quetico Provincial Park. Throughout the
years, he has paddled into every lake
within Quetico that has a portage to it
and even to some that don't.
