Dave Hopping

Dave graduated with a degree in Television/Radio/Film from Syracuse University. He developed a heart for ministry through Campus Crusade for Christ in college and went on to be the Youth Director at a Salvation Army Church in upstate NY. In 2004 he started to pursue a career in full-time comedy in a group he helped found called "Dave and Brian." They've performed all over the country for audiences of all ages in venues from clubs to conferences and have been featured on national radio and television programs. Even while pursuing comedy, Dave has always been involved in some sort of youth ministry as a volunteer.

Dave is married to Michelle, who works at the University of Pennsylvania, and they have three children; Nolan, Russell, and Ellen. They enjoy movies, music, and sports.
