Who is Dave?

Dave is currently the Managing Director/Market Executive for BMO Commercial Bank, leading the commercial banking efforts in Central and Northwestern Wisconsin.  He has been with the Bank for 24 years in various roles in the Madison, Minneapolis and Wausau markets and has been in the Wausau area since 2018.  A Madison, WI native, Dave graduated from Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter, MN with a degree in Economics and resides in Weston with his daughter.  In his free time, he enjoys traveling, golf, watching football and hockey, and spending time with family.

Why United Way?

I began my involvement with the United Way early in my banking career.  In 2002, I was selected by the Bank to participate in the Loaned Executive Program, where employers in Dane County loan an employee to the United Way to provide essential support during the annual fundraising campaign.  The 4-month experience as a Loaned Executive allowed me to witness firsthand the amazing things they do in the community and the tremendous organizations they support.  With this opportunity, I look forward to finding additional ways to give back and support the mission of the United Way in Marathon County.
