A 1965 graduate of Archbold High school, David married Lynne (Cryer) Schaedler on August 21, 2007 in Horse Cave, Kentucky.

Additionally, he owned and operated Buehrer and Sons Excavating before retiring into full time farming, his first love. David and his team wrapped up his farming career harvesting 1400 acres in time to celebrate his 77th birthday this October.
When not working in the fields or for one of his companies, David restored dozens of classic cars. His talent for this hobby was rewarded in a 2007 issue of Hemming’s Muscle Machines after restoring a pristine 1959 Chevrolet Impala. He also restored a rare 1957 Corvette which won Bloomington Gold and was chosen to represent the 1957 model year during the 50th anniversary celebration at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky.
