2025 Board

I grew up in Sugarcreek, OH in the heart of Ohio’s Amish Country and moved to Grove City in 2002. Between those two milestones, I attended Bluffton University where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Human Communication. After several successful years in the corporate world, I decided to pursue a career in real estate which has turned into my passion. Since 2010, I have worked full-time as a REALTOR®. In 2018, I was the President of the Grove City Area Realty Association and currently serve on the Board of Trustees of Visit Grove City where I will be V.P in 2021.

 

Personally, I am a dedicated family man that enjoys nothing more than the company of my wife of 22 years, Megan, and my children, Lydia and Isaac. In my free time, I enjoy watching the kids’ extracurricular activities, fishing, camping and sing/play guitar in a local rock band called “The Boondogglers.”

Dave Crosby is a retired middle school teacher from South-Western City Schools. He received a B.S. in Natural Resources (Environmental Education) and a B.S. in Elementary Education in 1981 from The Ohio State University. In 1991 he received a Masters in Science Education from The Ohio State University. In 2001, David and his wife Diane, purchased 14 acres just south of Grove City where they began planting three acres of wine grapes. As an avid home winemaker, David began searching for a location to open Grove City’s only winery upon his retirement from teaching. The winery, named Plum Run Winery (after the stream that starts on their farm), was opened in July 2012 in the Grove City Town Center. David is the winemaker at Plum Run Winery where he produces, bottles and labels all of his hand crafted wines. David loves to talk about grapes, winemaking and as his wife says…everything else.

Over 20 years in the commercial real estate field. Active member of Building Owners and Mangers Association (BOMA) and Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM).
