Before attending seminary, Dave had lived on North Haven for five years and worked in an island boatyard. He never imagined he'd be back on the island as pastor, but in 1991, after ten years on the mainland, he answered the call to serve with the Maine Sea Coast Mission.

Like most small, one-church towns, everyone on the island—whether they are members or not—thinks of this as his or her church. Believing in the importance of meeting people where they are, Dave has been involved at many levels in the community, among them volunteering on the ambulance, performing in local theater productions, leading a Christmas oratorio, co-hosting a weekly coffee hour and a monthly luncheon for senior citizens, serving on the boards of local non-profits and on town boards, moderating town meeting, and chaperoning the middle school trip to Washington, DC. The church and another organization on the island have partnered to provide support for family caregivers and year-round residents in need of care at all levels. A long-standing relationship with an island-based foundation brings help to residents young and old who are struggling with medical expenses. Generous donations from island and summer residents allow the deacon's discretionary fund to provide assistance with rent, electric bills, ferry tickets and other related expenses for medical appointments.
