Dave is a fraternal triplet, while his brothers Bob and Clint, who were born on the same date, are identical twins. Dave was born last, making him the youngest of the triplets. Dave was a member of the Canadian Pop/Rock band The Moffatts. He played keyboard and sang lead and background vocals. In 2001, Dave came out as gay to his family. He left home and did not speak to his father for over a year. This effectively broke up The Moffatts as a band. In 2003, Dave posed for a photo shoot with Vancouver-based photographer Mikel. Most of the edgy, artistic photos were black and white and semi-nude. The photos were publicly posted on Mikel's website toxicboy Warning: nudity and pornographic content.
In 2004, Dave came out publicly in an article in the Winnipeg Free Press and for a brief time hosted karaoke at a gay club in downtown Winnipeg called Desire.
In 2005, Dave made his professional theatre debut in the Rainbow Stage's production of Miss Saigon. He was also a contestant on Canadian Idol where he placed in the top 32 but failed to make it to the top 10.
