Welcome, Dave

Please join us in welcoming Dave Taft, our new Building Operations Coordinator at the Wyant College of Optical Sciences. Dave and his family moved to Tucson 10 years ago from northern Illinois. With 17 years of experience in facilities, including the past 3 years at the U of A Veterinary College in Oro Valley, Dave brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the college. He is eager to embrace the challenges of a larger campus and is committed to expanding his skills to help grow and maintain a safe learning environment at OSC.

Outside of work, Dave is most proud of his musical family. While he may not play an instrument himself, his wife is a band director and district music coordinator, his youngest son is a drum tech, and his other son and daughter are both members of the Pride of Arizona marching band. Dave also enjoys fishing, a hobby he loves for its blend of relaxation and challenge.

Dave can be reached at 520-621-4238 or via email at dtaft@arizona.edu. We're excited to have him on board and look forward to his contributions to the college!
