Known to drift in changing directions at the drop of a hat, he has also
worked as a High Tower Rigger; Long Haul Trucker hauling everything from
apples, to beer, to hazardous waste and explosives; radio talk show
host; Renaissance Faire Magician and Bodice Merchant; a short stint once
as a Life Insurance salesman that ended rather badly and a Corporate
Mercenary for hire.
He is a life long gear head and speed freak, customizing cars, trucks
and motorcycles with his goal of irritating the noise police as his
primary directive. He is also a devoted collector of tattoo.
A protege of acclaimed poet and alternative publisher Ben L. Hiatt, dave
embraces the ever changing literary and political structure as he
continues to ponder Hiatt's school of Okie Surrealism. Mescalito, a
lifelong friend, keeps watch over him to this day, sending a Red Hawk to
check in on him from time to time. He resides with his wife, Mrs.
America, at Lake House, the Illuminated Monkey's Home For Wayward Poets
And Socially Bereft Humans.
