What happens when the thing that threatens to take everything from you becomes the doorway to your greatest purpose?
Dave "Letterfly" Knoderer has spent more than fifty years as a creative—as an author, an artist, an award-winning entertainer, and an entrepreneur. His mission is to enhance the lives of others with written words, successful entrepreneurship, and art.
His journey began during his teenage years on the circus, where he learned the art of Haute Ecole—horsemanship schooled to the highest level. He spent three decades understudying the best of the best upper-level horse trainers. He became an award-winning performer on his dancing horses. But a silent adversary threatened to take it all away.
Thanks to the process of recovery from alcoholism, he adopted a completely different design for living his life—one that included the mission to become a source of inspiration and encouragement to others. During the climb out of addiction, he also became the most prolific of all the motorhome airbrush mural artists in the RV industry.
Today, Dave enjoys a creative, wandering lifestyle as he applies the skills of a pinstriper along his annual seven-month route of Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealerships east of the Mississippi.
His message is rooted in a powerful truth: there is always a way out—and challenges are opportunities for personal growth.
