Seminars and Speaking

In his effort to keep costs as low as possible for seminar and speaking engagements, Dave travels frequently in his 40' Keystone Alpine Travel Trailer, which eliminates hotel and restaurant costs.

Most engagements provide space in a parking lot at their facility.

If your organization is able to provide a standard garden hose spigot, that would be very helpful.

If your facility can provide either a 50, 30 or 20 AMP electrical outlet, that would be most helpful. However, if not, Dave can provide for his electrical requirements with his generators.
