He became a full-time stewardship consultant in 1992 and conducted more than 110 capital stewardship programs for congregations, as well as more than 15 capital campaigns for school associations. In addition, Dave has conducted 20 ministry vision planning processes and close to 50 feasibility studies with partner churches and agencies. He is author of the stewardship Bible study, "Journey of Discovery," published in 2010 by Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

For 20 years, Dave served as a parish pastor, leading his churches in three successful building programs. During his pastorate, the churches experienced significant increases in regular offerings. He also served as area coordinator for three national church fund drives.
