Dave was a decorated Army Veteran of WWII, who served in the Pacific and Japan.
David was born to Miriam and Samuel Furst in 1926 in Newark, New Jersey and moved to Phoenix in 1948. In 1949, Dave met and married Hanna Glina of Boston, Massachusetts, and in 1950 they opened Dave's Liquors in Phoenix. In 1976, Dave expanded his store and opened the Wine Vault, the largest selection of fine wines to the valley and was the first to introduce and sell French wine futures in Arizona. Dave's extraordinary knowledge of French wines led to the Wine Vault's huge success.
