Dave began to pursue his vocal talents at age 27 when he joined The Showstoppers, a Broadway musical troupe from the Beaver Valley. Dave then studied voice with the late Lorenzo Malfatti of Pittsburgh and went on to appear in six productions with the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera. In 2010, he released his CD, Christmas from the Heart. Today, he enjoys performing for various community groups.
