He was actively involved in implementing numerous conservation practices that were a part of the conservation plan for his parents’ farm in the late 40’s and early 50’s. He helped install diversion terraces and grass waterways, as well as other water control practices. While later conducting his own farming operation in Western Ohio he had his own conservation plan and was actively involved with the Clark County Conservation District. He has been an active participant in activities of conservation districts since the early 50’s.

Dave taught Vocational Agriculture for 13 years in New Carlisle, Ohio and 15 years in Kremmling, Colorado. Throughout his teaching career with both high school students and young farmers/ranchers, a major emphasis was on various conservation practices. He initiated and developed the Range Judging Contest for the Colorado F.F.A., which later became a national contest. He worked closely with the local conservation district on education for effective conservation practices. He has been active in conservation efforts on the local, watershed, and state levels for many years.
