Rancher Dave

Welcome to Rancher Dave's Web site

Rancher Dave came about as a user name for a web site where discussion of cruising takes place on a daily basis. Read below and use the links to learn more about who is Rancher Dave and what does he do for a living and in spare time. As you can guess Cruising the Seven Seas is definitely among the hobbies and also is one of the business interests.

Rancher Dave is also the user name for several other web sites related to travel and the high seas such as gcaptain.com where there is plenty of discussions about being on the high seas, where those leading and participating in most discussions are crew or former crew on various ocean going vessels.

Who is Rancher Dave

• A husband and father - a family man!
• Former deckhand while in college. The deckhand work was aboard oil field supply boats both in the oil field and on an ocean going tug. During those two boat riding Summers he headed to St. George's USNAS Bermuda six times and Kingston, Jamaica once. You don't see many cruise ships going to Kingston.
• Cattle rancher. Yep the Rancher Dave name didn't just pop into mind for no reason. I was involved in ranching before I became a cruiser, and on the first board where I used that name I wasn't sure what name to use so I figured it fit my situation well.
• Business owner. Dave owns an insurance agency focused on health, life, long term care, and disability insurance where he is an expert. He also owns a travel agency (and/or cruise agency, they are ultimately all one in the same) where he takes his passion for travel and helps others plan their vacations. Having circled the world and traveled to many exotic destinations North, South, East, and West he really knows his travel stuff!
• Volunteer - Dave does a lot of work to help others in need thru his Church's Disaster Relief and Missions organizations.
• Hobbyist - Dave and his family work hard to make Christmas Special for all the kids around big and old. Dave puts on a huge Christmas Light Show each year for all who are around to see.

Rancher Dave's Companies

Dave runs an Insurance Agency and a Travel/Cruise Agency. Both businesses are there to help provide an income so Dave can feed his family, enjoy life, and volunteer to help others.

Of course the one which helped give David his Rancher Dave name is the Ranch. Believe it or not, many ranchers are not full time ranchers but instead have others help work their cattle with and/or for them. At the ranch we raise Texas Longhorn Cattle.
