Dave Dobbins is a fifth-generation carpenter raised on a southern Ohio farm. He was taught the value of working hard and being dependable at an early age, and one of his grandfather's favorite sayings was "One good job may get you two, and one bad job will cost you ten." Dave first started in the contracting business when he was 21 years old, and he has been in the restoration and maintenance business for the past 30 years.

Dave originally came to the Widener Small Business Development Center for the How to Market to the Government seminar and was soon utilizing the consulting help of Government Marketing Specialist Bruce Downing in the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC). Through extensive market research and much hard work, Dave, using the PTAC government marketing methods, discovered that even the government can use his services. This enabled him to obtain profitable government contracts. These contracts were based on renovating buildings in local US Parks. What Dave realized is that there is nothing magical about obtaining government contracts – all that it requires is dedication and some good old-fashioned hard work. Dave continues to expand his marketing efforts to secure more government, commercial and residential contracts.
