Dave has been a full-time missionary with Global Ventures since 2013. From his first mission trip as a teenager, he felt a profound calling on his life. His professional and educational experiences have all been steps toward his current role with Global Ventures. In 2013, he was invited to lead the International Coordination Department as a full-time missionary.

As the Director of International Coordination, Dave is responsible for gathering crucial information about potential regions for GV’s projects. Once a region is identified, he navigates the complex tasks of building relationships with local leaders, planning budgets, and identifying the best ministry opportunities. Each project requires meticulous planning and divine guidance, as Dave understands that these efforts have eternal significance.

Alongside his wife, Marlana, Dave serves with dedication on the GV Leadership Team. Together, they are passionate about spreading God’s love to the farthest corners of the earth and empowering others to join in this transformative mission. They are also blessed with two wonderful children, Bryson and Kaelyn, who share their love for Jesus, travel, and connecting with people.
