Dave Ronald

(he/him)

Mural Festival Technical Director

Dave moved to the Kootenays in 1995 to attend Selkirk College. He fell in love with the area and its gorgeous mountains and trees, clear air and beautiful drinking water, vibrant culture and the incredibly talented people who flock here. He adds: “You know you live somewhere special when you miss home when you’re traveling.”

Dave is a journeyman stucco plasterer with 30 years of construction experience. He is also a graduate of the Selkirk College professional music program and has been running All Ears Music Productions since 1999.

Dave enjoys the physical and mental balance that his two careers offer and he cultivates work around his passions: family, building, property development, playing guitar, listening to music, music production, live sound, lighting, and technical services.

Away from work Dave loves to spend time with his wife Jen and his family. He can be found at the end of the day in his studio learning, building and researching.

“I’m always amazed at the talent in the Kootenays and I always feel blessed that I get to work here. Thank you NDAC for bringing world class Murals, Culture, Music, Art Walks and more, you’re a key player in making this town progressively cooler.”
