This week's Rotarian in the Spotlight: Dave Card

How long have you been a Rotarian? 14 years

Who was your sponsor? Joleen Sharp

Why did you join Rotary? I initially joined Rotary looking for business networking opportunities. But what I actually found was an active group of individuals with a get-stuff-done approach to projects and having fun. I very much enjoy the camaraderie and vibrancy of our club.

What is your vocation? I am currently a self-employed software consultant specializing in the implementation of Enterprise Software, project management and process improvement. The first twelve years of my professional career were spent working as a mechanical engineer in design and manufacturing management and included a three year stint helping to run a manufacturing plant in Chatellerault, France.

What do you do in your spare time? Spending time with family and friends is a priority. But when it’s me time, I love music and playing drums with my band Prairie Dog Fight Club. I also really enjoy sailing and plan to sail across oceans someday.

Dave is also one of the founders of the Lakefront Jazz and Blues Fest, which has become Prior Lake Rotary's Lakefront Music Fest. Thank you, Dave, for all that you do on behalf of Prior Lake Rotary!
