Being from in the Asheville area, David assists clients by bringing a local's perspective to the table.  After college at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC and selling a small business in Charlotte, NC, he returned to the mountains in 2000 to pursue a career in Asheville real estate.  A seasoned real estate broker, David has over $50 million in real estate sales.  He specializes in exclusive mountain retreats, Asheville hobby farms, Asheville equine farms, upscale development, large acreage tracts, and fine traditional homes in Asheville's historic neighborhoods.

Pursuing an active outdoor lifestyle, David enjoys fly-fishing and spending time in the field with his Deutsch Drahthaars.  He also keeps a few chickens and raises an organic vegetable garden each year with his wife and young twin boys at their home just outside of Asheville in the Cane Creek Valley in south Buncombe County.  In past years, he spent much of his spare time restoring a 1920 Arts & Crafts home in historic north Asheville NC where he previously resided..

This photo of a few buddies and me was taken at a Deutsch Drahthaar natural ability hunting test in Nashville TN.   Pictured left to right are David Clegg and "Gauge", Scott Crabtree and "Carla", & Jason Pardue and  "Cisko".  My talented dog Gauge aka Condor vom Stillwasser trotted away with the best score out of all 25 dogs that ran the test that weekend.

If you are a sportsman that appreciates superb canine hunting companions do a quick Google search for Deutsch Drahthaars and do some research.  Cousins of Americanized German Wirehair Pointers these pointing upland birds, tracking big game, and waterfowl retrieving these are the ultimate in versatile hunting dogs.  The rigorous German structured breeding requirements include physical, hunting, and temperament tests.  This insures that the dogs will not suffer the fate of the Irish Setters, Golden Retrievers, and  in due time the Labrador Retrievers.

I hunt quail, pheasants, chukar, ducks, geese, dove, woodcock, and grouse.  My dogs love it all.  Remarkably they have the style and grace of English Pointers and the drive of Chesapeake Bay Retriever. My buddy Scott Crabtree with Stillwasser Kennels in Gastonia NC is a very reputable breeder.  I can also recommend Jill Manring  with Wildflugel Kennels who is out in Nebraska's corn and soybean plains.
