For 25 years, Dave has been helping create meaningful architecture that people love. Focusing on social impact in housing, education, and health, his work at Holst spans notable projects including Bud Clark Commons, the Rockwood Youth Campus, and Fora Health. On the boards and under construction, Dave is currently helping lead the design of the East County Library, The Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts, and hundreds of deeply affordable homes across the Portland region. As a board member of the Mental Health and Addiction Association of Oregon and volunteer for local nonprofit organizations, Dave strives to give back to his community by bringing the most design to those with the least in our society.
