Dave is a professional musician whose original music has been used in major motion pictures like The Game, starring Michael Douglas, and also in television shows like CBS's Cold Case and FOX's Melrose Place. This collection of images from the Broadmoor Police Department, Broadmoor Property Owner's Association, Westmoor Alumni, and the author's personal archives tell a real-life version of "David vs. Goliath."
