“I've always enjoyed working with my hands and finding practical solutions.”
Dave’s career path has been anything but ordinary. He spent many years in the catering industry at International Market Square, working in nearly every aspect of the business—from truck driver to event service. More recently, he owned a garden maintenance and landscape company, worked for a residential remodeler, and served as Grounds Supervisor for Bachman’s five retail locations before joining Ben Quie & Sons.
As Shop Manager, Dave brings a diverse background, strong organizational skills, and a hands-on approach to supporting the team and keeping projects moving smoothly.
Favorite Tool:
The Swiss made plant pruner the "Felco #2. The current one I use has made thousands of cuts from roses to oak limbs. Extra uses for the trimmer include screwdriver, hammer and a little notch on it for lite wire cutting. Matched with a Holster on the hip and one is always ready for a day of gardening. The greatest tool ever created; The Felco #2
