He contributes articles to the Mises Institute and Tenth Amendment Center, and has associated with the Libertarian Party since 2004, in three different state affiliates, with an interregnum from 2008-2014.
Dave credits his original awakening to libertarianism to Murray Rothbard, whose work he discovered during a 2004 college research project on the history of money and banking in the United States. He credits John Locke, Algernon Sidney, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises, Henry Hazlitt, Ron Paul, Robert Higgs, Walter Block, and Tom Woods as his greatest philosophical influences.
