David is the third generation of Rubel family entrepreneurs
who have made their homes and businesses in Barre, Vermont.
His grandfather Benny owned a retail store in Barre for over
fifty years and his father is a distributor with a nationally
recognized franchise. Thus, Dave is passionate about helping
Vermont businesses to grow and thrive while still maintaining
their intimate connection to our state.
After graduating from Spaulding High School, Dave went on
to earn a Bachelor’s degree from American University
in International Studies. He also lived and worked in Japan
for four years before returning to Vermont with his wife,
Minori, to raise their two children. During his time in Japan,
Dave passed the second-highest level of the Japanese Language
Proficiency Exam and remains a competent speaker of Japanese.
Since his return to Vermont, Dave has completed the MBA prerequisite
program at Norwich University, and has served as a board member
for the Vermont Granite Museum & Stone Arts School and
as a member of the Economic Restructuring Committee for the
Barre Partnership. In addition to being an active member of
the Montpelier Rotary Club, Dave is also a certified facilitator
of FastTrac and NxLevel entrepreneurship training programs.
