Dave was born on February 16, 1960 in Youngstown, OH to David and Shirley Evans. At the age of 9, he moved with his family to Ventura County (Oxnard) California. He graduated from Channel Islands High School in 1979. At an early age he began a career that took him across America. He drove trucks up and down the California highways for Carr Freight in Santa Paula CA for many years. He then decided to travel cross country in an 18 wheeler first for Commercial Companies, eventually becoming an owner operator for himself. This career lasted 32 years and something he missed daily.

He eventually landed in Texas where he met the Love of his life, Pamela (Carrizales) Evans. They married in June 2006 and enjoyed 16 years of marriage.
