Dave is an active and energetic 8 year-old boy who enjoys spending time outdoors to hunt and study insects. He is especially fascinated with his Preying Mantis, which he keeps in a container and feeds himself. He is a bright and very articulate boy who loves to talk about his passion for insects and readily shares his extensive knowledge. He also is an avid reader who is fascinated by royalty, especially knights and Egyptian mummies.

Dave likes school, especially mathematics. ”Fractions are pretty easy,” he shares with a big smile. His creativity, imagination and strong interests make him popular with his classmates.

At home, he also likes to play by himself. Chores are not his favorite activity, especially not vacuuming and dusting. He does like to cook, especially his favorite meal, Spaghetti and Meatballs. “I love to smash the tomatoes, put the regular sauce on them, and then stir and stir,” he says.

Dave would thrive being part of a young family, and is open to siblings. He also would like a large yard with lots of plants and hopes that his parents will hunt insects with him. And oh, yes: “I do not want a father with a beard,” he adds.
