Directors at Large
2024
Dave began his career as a Mechanical Engineer working in the lumber industry in British Columbia. He left that to design fuel cell vehicles and fell in love with timber framing while hand-cutting a classic bent frame in his days off for a family cabin in the mountains of British Columbia. Just after the dotcom bubble, Dave gave up his office job and started Kettle River Timberworks. After 20 years of building up and down the remote BC coast, Dave recently sold Kettle River and is easing into retirement. In his spare time, he likes puttering at his summer cottage, mountain biking, hiking, and skiing. He’s looking forward to being more involved with the Timber Framers Guild which played such a key role in growing his business and has led to so many lifetime friendships.
