REG OPENS EARLY 2021

Dave Lindberg
Camp Leader

Dave was honored to have helped start the very first Catholic Football Camp in 2019 and feels blessed to continue to help lead it!  He grew up in Wheaton, IL and played his high school ball at Wheaton North where he was an all-conference WR and captain of the varsity team.  He then went on to play DB for the Thunder at Wheaton College. During his senior season at Wheaton, the Thunder advanced to the semi-finals of the Division III National Playoffs for the first time in school history.  At Wheaton College, Dave saw a great example of how integrating faith and sports together can truly help shape young men to bring our faith to the rest of the world, and help them grow deeper in their relationships with Christ.  He is married to his wife Ashley and they live in Batavia with their 3 beautiful children. Dave works as a full-time financial advisor as part of the Spahn Financial wealth management team.
