Dave just can’t seem to get enough of BIGFOOT.  Since his initial hire in 1988, he has come and gone 3 separate times, working on his 5th year currently and his 12th year total.  One of Dave’s greatest accomplishments was setting and holding the world record monster truck wheelie.  This was done in 1999, at a distance of 217 ft., 3 in.  He says he wanted to be a BIGFOOT driver because Team BIGFOOT is the best in the business.  His favorite things about being a BIGFOOT driver are working with his fellow employees, traveling around the country, and meeting all the fans.  His favorite venue for a show is the Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Arizona.  When Dave isn’t on the road, he likes to relax and play golf.  His favorite food is pizza and he listens to all types of music.  BIGFOOT co-workers described him as an all-around nice guy!  Dave officially retired in May 2007.  Thanks for all the memories Dave!  We will all miss you!
