Born in Southern California, Dave was immersed in the surf industry and rose to the professional ranks. When you meet Dave, it doesn't take long to realize that he is much more than a surfer. He will tell you that he is, first and foremost, a husband. "There is nothing I enjoy more than spending time with Catherine. I would travel a million miles to sit on a rock with her and see her smile."
 
To say that Dave likes to have fun would be an understatement. He embodies the saying, "The Joy of the Lord is my Strength." He has been described as a one-man three-ring circus and never fails to entertain himself or the people around him. When Dave has an idea, you better hold on tight for the ride of your life.

Here is a video about the boutique Hallelu that Dave and Catherine started in 2005 and sold at the beginning of 2020. Catherine is now the Creative Director for multiple fashion brands, and through www.catherineyearwood.com, they consult and assist boutiques and brands across the United States.
