Born October 24, 1942, in Valley City, North Dakota, Dave is the oldest son of Harley and Beatrice Fogderud. He has two brothers and two sisters. Sharon Sonneson of Mandan, Tim of Bismarck, Becky Hager of Valley City and Douglas of Jamestown.
Dave grew up on a farm near Hannaford and attended Greenfield Grade School for eight years. He graduated from Hannaford High School in 1960. He was a member of the Peppy Peppers 4-H Club for 10 years. One of his greatest achievements was to win a trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in 1960. After high school, Dave attended Trinity College in Chicago, Illinois, (now in Deerfield, Illinois) and later attended the College of Automation in Des Moines, Iowa, where he got his initial Data Processing training.
In 1962, Dave married Frances Eli of Glenfield and lived in Valley City and Grand Forks before moving to Beloit, Wisconsin, in 1967. Dave has two children, Kathy Jo Price who lives in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; and Keith David who lives in Janesville, Wisconsin.
Kathy and her husband, Randy, used to live in Hannaford and they have two boys, Ryan and Michael. Keith has a little girl, Ashley. Dave was divorced in 1972, and remarried in 1974 to Patricia Hendrickson. Dave and Pat were married in June 1974, at The Overflowing Cup Christian Coffee House in Beloit, Wisconsin. In 1973, Dave furthered his religious training at Rockford School of Theology in Rockford, Illinois, after receiving a call from God to start a Christian Coffee House Ministry.
Dave is now a pastor, evangelist, coffee house director, husband, father, grandfather and a computer consultant. He is pastor of The Overflowing Cup Total Life Center, Inc., and president of Systems Consulting Services, Inc. He has been a computer professional since 1962, and involved in active ministry since 1974. The most active part of the ministry that Dave is involved in is providing shelter and food to homeless people. Over 1,000 people have found food and shelter in the Harbor for the Homeless, which is a subdivision of The Overflowing Cup Total Life Center.
Dave and his wife, Pat, have been through many hard times. Most recently, Pat was diagnosed to have Stage II Cervical Cancer. The doctors said that she only had a 60 percent chance of living five years and that she should go immediately for radiation treatments. But she and Dave refused the radiation treatments and instead sought God for healing and alternative forms of cancer treatment. After much prayer, and 10 days of Metabolic Therapy at the Manner Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, the doctors declared that instead of Stage II cancer, it was now stage 0. Praise the Lord!
