For March, Dave will share his knowledge and expertise on how to set up an aquaponics system for various aquarium fish in your home. This is a perfect opportunity to learn how plants and fish can create a sustainable ecosystem!
Dave hails from western Maryland where he enjoys the quiet hills and clear streams of northern Appalachia.
Over the last decade, fish-keeping and fish-breeding became an immersive family hobby. Dave often blames his kids for his "aquatic midlife crisis" as Dave and his three sons have kept and bred a wide assortment of tropical and temperate freshwater fish.
Dave's resume is proof that you never know where you'll meet a serious aquarist. He studied organic chemistry in college, earned multiple degrees in music, taught college fine arts for twelve years, and then accepted a call to pastoral ministry.
When he’s not with his family, you can usually find Dave on a creek somewhere or down in his basement fishroom. Dave contributes regularly to online forums under the handle @fishfolk.
We have some great events already lined up for the rest of 2026. We hope you can join us!
