college to study Air Traffic Control where he ultimately decided it wasn’t for him. He then went

delivery truck driver. In August of 1984, Dave moved his family to Arizona where he got a job at
Culligan Water. After a few years he went to work for Pima Plumbing where he started to think
about starting his own plumbing company. In 1989, in the garage of his home, him and his
brother Dennis started Beebe Plumbing Inc. and for 30+ years they created a successful
business that employed numerous people including many family members and friends. He met
success by getting to know people, doing deals with a handshake (or a beer), and being great
with numbers.

island or anywhere there was sun. He built a cabin in Black Duck, Minnesota on the lake that
his parents had taken their family for many years. He participated in fishing tournaments where
