Dave was born and raised in Livonia where he played hockey for the LHA up until he moved on to play 3 years for Detroit Catholic Central. After playing junior hockey for one year, he spent 4 years playing hockey for The University of Michigan where he earned a degree in Sports Management and Communications. After graduating, Dave went on to play 10 years of professional hockey, including stops in Calgary and Phoenix.  He was very active in many charities during his playing career including winning the Ralph T. Scurfield award in Calgary and the Man of the Year award in Phoenix for dedication to the community.

Erinn grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but moved to Michigan to be with Dave in 2012.  She was a contestant on the TV show Survivor and finished in 3rd place during her season. She has been involved in many charitable efforts through Survivor, including a trip to Southeast Asia on a USO tour to entertain the troops.  Erinn was very involved in charities with the Arizona Coyotes while Dave played in Phoenix and truly enjoys planning and coordinating events. She and Dave are very excited to work with Hockey Has Heart and give back to hockey families in need.

Dave and Erinn welcomed their first son Henry "Hank" on August 3, 2015 and are anxiously waiting his first trip to the ice rink!
