Dave is originally from Wellesley, Massachusetts. He attended college in Gambier, Ohio before moving back to the Boston area to learn the carpentry trade. In December 2008, Dave bought a Subaru and drove out to Jackson to see what life in the mountains had to offer. He found a use for his skills volunteering on Habitat build sites until the Habitat staff swooped him up to be a member of the ReStore team, and now the Construction team.
Mike Melf, Carpenter
Having been a long time volunteer for Habitat for Humanity in his hometown of Gainesville, Florida, Mike is really excited to spend a year working for Habitat here in Jackson. It is a little like coming home for him, as Mike spent a summer here many years ago building a house and fell in love with the beauty of the Tetons and had always wanted to come back. In his free time, Mike is looking forward to some great hiking in the summer, and some great skating and hockey in the winter.
