Born and raised in the Bismarck-Mandan area, Dave Stein is a proud North Dakotan with deep roots in his community. He attended Bismarck State College before transferring to North Dakota State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology.
Before joining Hatch, Dave spent several years serving full-time in the North Dakota Army National Guard. His last role was in the Property and Fiscal Office, where he honed his skills in leadership, accountability, and logistics—skills that now serve him well in the real estate industry. Drawn to Hatch by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, Dave sees real estate as more than just transactions—it's about helping families take major steps toward building better lives.
Dave is the proud father of four boys and enjoys spending as much time as possible with them, whether at their activities or creating new experiences together. He also has a beloved mixed-breed dog named Sammy, who’s always part of the action. Outside of family life, Dave loves to golf (regardless of his scorecard) and is passionate about continuous learning through books, podcasts, and training.
His “why” is clear: to provide his family with rich, worldwide experiences and to coach and guide others through major life transitions, much like he did in youth sports. Dave brings that same energy, care, and commitment to every client he works with.
One insight he shares: “The traditional path to wealth isn’t the only one—and it might even be holding people back from living full lives today.” He believes in challenging the status quo and helping people find smarter ways to build their futures.
Dave’s long-term goal? To raise strong, independent, kind men who contribute positively to society—and to keep growing himself along the way.
