David was not one to shy away from work as he held several jobs and roles including raising pigs, factory work, and carpentry. He was always known to be a hard worker and skilled handyman.

David attended Albert Lea High School where he was known for his talent in football and gymnastics. He graduated in 1968. On April 18, 1970, he married Kathy Jo (Dahl). To this union two children were born, John and Laurie.
