He is willing to share his gifts and talents including: household electrical repair/trouble-shooting, limited plumbing skills, mechanical/vehicle knowledge, "handyman" and singing the "special" Happy Birthday song.

Dave believes that showing the world that Jesus is alive and well by our lifestyle is the most important goal. As a "people person", he enjoys helping others to be the best that they can be. He believes that the new internet franchising business that he and Anita are involved with will help other people fulfill their dreams and goals. They want to be in a position for Anita to retire and increase their support to our partners "above and beyond what we could think or imagine." He is excited to see how God will manifest His glory in their lives in these last days - it looks for a job for El Shaddai!
