Dave credits his lifelong love of cars to his father, Bob. That passion, paired with a deep connection to the Wood River Valley, led him to envision something truly special built around the automotive spirit. Working closely with Sheriff Walt Femling, Dave turned a simple idea into reality. That spark ultimately grew into what is now the Sun Valley Tour de Force, an event that has raised millions of dollars for local charities and earned worldwide recognition for using automotive culture as a force for good.
Dave and his wife, Lara, are the owners of the Sun Valley Auto Club. His passions for family, cars, hockey, bourbon, and the greater Wood River Valley are well known.
