Dave McGown

Board Operator

Dave is enjoying his dream retirement job at VPR. His broadcasting career began at Dartmouth in 1965. It carried him from New Hampshire to Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands to Maine, Vermont and Florida. Having lived on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific, he decided to raise his family in Vermont. After seven years as an award-winning commercial copywriter/producer at WVMT-Burlington, Dave changed careers, joining the U S Postal Service. For twenty years, he sorted and delivered mail to rapidly multiplying households in South Burlington. He continued broadcasting as a parttime  newscaster at WVMT until 1997, then served as a Vermont Public Television booth announcer for 6 years. Dave and his wife, Tina, have two daughters. Since 1984, they have lived in the same old house in Fairfax, where he shuttles firewood, gardens, and thinks about tearing down his old horse barn by himself.
