Dave lives in Whitehorse, YT on the traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council.

After attending Lakehead University for a degree in Geography, Dave was offered a job in Yellowknife, NT delivering pre-employment and on the job training for northern residents. He has now spent the last decade traveling across the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon; connecting with northerners, Indigenous governments, federal and territorial government agencies and private organizations. His passion for teaching has been solidified by over fifteen years of professional education, teaching in a wide variety of environments from world class whitewater rivers, to boardrooms, to canvas tents in the high arctic. When he’s not at work, he’s spending time out on the land hiking, running, paddling or adventuring with his loved ones and his dog.

He’s honoured to be a part of the team at Entreprenorth, and to be working with Indigenous entrepreneurs to help build sustainable and meaningful business across the north.
