Born in the charming city of Allentown, Pennsylvania, Dave Alspach's life was marked by an unwavering enthusiasm for executing death-defying stunts from a remarkably early age.
As a mere 18 years old, he embarked on a daring adventure as a professional diver with the illustrious "John D. O'Keefe Aqua Revue", traversing the breathtakingly beautiful Pocono and Catskill Mountains.
This fearless and intrepid stunt daredevil would frequently put himself in harm's way, setting himself ablaze and then plunging 60 feet downwards into a pool, situated perilously below his platform, thereby pushing the very limits of human physical and mental endurance.
As the dawn of his twenties approached, a burning desire for adventure seized Dave, prompting him to enlist in an elite Special Forces Team, where he spent three formative years in the tumultuous theatre of Vietnam, meticulously refining his skills and cultivating an unwavering sense of bravery that would remain unshakeable for the rest of his life.
Dave's embryonic forays into the realm of theater commenced with his enrollment and performances at the prestigious Guthsville Playhouse, where he had the unique opportunity to interact with esteemed individuals such as Jack Lemmon and other luminaries, as well as other regional theaters throughout the northeastern United States. Notwithstanding the difficulties inherent in making ends meet, he persisted in refining his craft, securing acting positions in New York City theaters and receiving invaluable mentorship from renowned coaches and producers including Joel Tellis and Blair Cutting.
Dave, a visionary entrepreneur, took the initiative in the year 2000 to co-found a non-profit organization, affectionately dubbed the "Best Little Playhouse in Tampa", with the ambitious goal of bringing high-quality, professional theatrical productions to the Tampa Bay region.
Dave, a visionary individual, embarked on a bold journey, leaving behind the familiar comforts of his hometown to chase his aspirations as a multifaceted creative force, driven by an insatiable passion for acting, producing, and writing in the city of angels, Los Angeles.
As the years unfolded, he accumulated an impressive array of accomplishments, solidifying his reputation as a masterful artist, unwaveringly dedicated to his craft.
Though he has since returned to his native Louisiana, drawn by the allure of proximity to his daughter and five cherished grandchildren, Dave's artistic flame remains unextinguished, as he continues to nurture his creative spirit, steadfastly committed to his art, and inspiring others with his unrelenting dedication to his craft.
Dave Alspach's life has been a perpetual quest for excellence, characterized by an unwavering commitment to embracing challenges and transcending conventional limitations.
