It takes nerves of steel and great concentration to be a successful golfer. Dave’s 10 years in the golf industry, including nine years as a PGA assistant professional and teaching professional, developed more than his putting skills — it gave him valuable insight into the inner workings of the outdoor recreation industry and makes him uniquely qualified to work with golf courses, country clubs and hunting preserves.

While building the Medalist Golf Program, Dave spent a year researching the golf insurance market on a national and international level. The end result is a “hybrid” program that offers the most comprehensive and cost-effective solution to ensure that your club’s assets are protected. Dave’s industry knowledge garnered through his years as a PGA professional give his clients the added value of working with a broker who has a thorough grasp of their business. Many of the top private clubs and public facilities in the United States have entrusted their facilities’ risk management to Dave and the Medalist Team.

Dave came to SilverStone Group with a heritage in the insurance industry (his grandfather was an insurance agent in New York for over 50 years). He specifically enjoys being part of a dynamic team, built on mutual respect for both clients and coworkers, and on our tradition of exceptional service.

Dave has worked at national tournament venues such as The International at Castle Pines Golf Club and the Western Junior Amateur at Denver Country Club, and at notable courses such as Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California and Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.

While living in Denver, Dave worked with “Open Fairways,” a charitable organization that introduces disadvantaged, inner-city youth to the game of golf. Since 2005, Dave has been the Division Leader for the Annual Membership Drive for Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo.

Dave fills out his foursome at home with his wife and two golf-crazed sons who, despite being younger than 5, each have their own set of clubs!
