Dave Snell was raised in Portland, and graduated from Portland State in 1972.  He began installing irrigation systems while in college.  In 1975, Dave founded and managed an irrigation contracting business, but sold the business in 1985 to begin working in sales and management for irrigation material suppliers until 1998.  Since 1998 he has carried out independent irrigation consulting, worked on water conservation projects, and helped irrigation manufacturers introduce new water efficient products into the marketplace.   The nursery and landscaping at his farm has become a �test lab� for new ag and turf irrigation products and ideas.  Dave is a certified Irrigation Auditor and designer with the Irrigation Association.  The most satisfaction he has received from sixteen years of teaching irrigation at Clackamas is bumping into former students who have furthered their careers with the knowledge they acquired in the irrigation class at CCC.
