At the Sunday Late Night of the 2001 Austin Lindy Exchange, Dave discovered Blues dancing thanks to the connivings of his friend Mel and the song Fallin', and his life took a turn.

Soon after, he became instrumental in the origins of the contemporary Blues house party, helping found LindyBooty, the world's largest Lindy house Blues event, which then inspired blues parties across the West Coast and the states, eventually turning into much of the Blues dance scene as we know it today. Perhaps more importantly, though, he's widely unknown as the originator of the House Party Blues Crepe.

In 2007 he organized and was one of the instructors at Blues Rising, the largest Blues dancing workshop of our time, bringing in a huge number of instructors and attendees from across the country.

He's also taught Blues to classes across the globe, from the workshop on Blues Night at Herrang to Lindy Focus and Enter the Blues, as well as an upcoming European tour.

Otherwise he can generally be found dancing and teaching Blues and Lindy on the road and helping evolve a powerful Blues scene when he's back home in San Francisco.
