Dave Humphreys: Where Music Meets Meaning
Some people are born trailblazers. Others grow into it. Dave Humphreys is one of the latter—a quiet force shaped by music, justice, and a deep belief in community.
He never chased titles or the spotlight. He simply followed his instincts—toward purpose, connection, and service. Along the way, he built something lasting: a life full of meaningful moments and a legacy that continues to ripple through every cause, community, and person he’s touched.
Music Is the Key
Dave was just five when he first sat down at a piano. Soon came the bass, cello, and percussion—each one expanding his world. By high school, music wasn’t just a passion; it was a side hustle. He was playing gigs and getting paid. At Oberlin College, his talent helped cover tuition.
Today, Dave doesn’t play professionally, but music is still central to who he is. He calls himself a music enabler—someone who helps others find joy, connection, and meaning through it.
And for Dave, music was only the beginning.
