The Dave is one of the species of climber indigenous to the mountains of the West Coast of North America. Although primarily found perched on the sunny walls of vertical rock crags, the Dave has occasionally been found on the top of a sloppy Cascade volcano. The Dave has been spotted as far north as the Cirque of the Unclimbables in the Northwest Territories of Canada, and as far south as the Cordilla Blanca in Peru. Although it is known that the Dave has never been seen east of the Mississippi, a local reports that it is only a matter of time before the Dave shows up at the Gunks in New York.
Showing evidence of the Daves primate ancestry, it is noted that he is quite handy with a tool, even up in the air. He inhabits an obnoxious pile of lumber that always seems to need repairs. And if that isn't enough, for a plate of lasagna, he can be cajoled into working on your obnoxious pile of lumber. Just make sure OSHA is nowhere near.
Not surprising for a critter with a home range of western Oregon, the Dave hibernates for the winter, storing up cash for the next year. This strange behavior has been traced back to a degree in Computer Engineering from Portland State University in 1988 and years spent in the cubicle warrens of Tektronix and Sequent (Now IBM NUMA-Q division). In recent years the Dave was showing the colors of a consultant and a CSG Pro Services brand has been noticed on his butt.
But proving the nothing stays the same, the Dave seems to have evolved once again. After a brief metamorphis through unemp..., er, selfemployment at English Engineering, the Dave is back with a new monkey troop. The Dave is currently sharing alpha-male responsibilities with two other apes at Quality Component Supply & Mfg, Inc and growing a fine crop of silver back-hair.
