From the moment he launched his law career until he and his wife had a kid, Dave Faux lived a typical city slicker life. Museums. Movies. Fine dining. But when the baby came along, he bought a Deuter Kid Comfort III and began hitting the trail. His wife joined him. Today he dreams of climbing the world’s peaks and skiing powder (who doesn’t?). For now his adventures are of the urban type, and we’re proud to have him join our talented team of family ambassadors.

Dave practices intellectual property, entertainment, art, and business/commercial law. Prior to becoming an attorney, he spent several years as a music journalist and a publicist in the Northwest. He holds both a Master of Science and a Master of Arts degree and spent a year in South Korea on a Fulbright fellowship.

Name / Age / Location / Nickname  
Dace H. Faux / 42 / Forest Hills, NY (Queens)

What is your core sport(s)?  
Running and hiking

What is your most epic outdoor adventure to date?  
I spent a week off of Scott Lake in Oregon’s Willamette National Forest—not the Scott Lake Campground. I was off-trail. And it was just me. Maybe it was not epic in terms of physical rigor, but definitely epic in the Thoreau-esque sense of getting to know one’s place on the planet and in the world.

What is your “go-to” Deuter product?  
Easily the Kid Comfort III. This absolutely re-invigorated hiking for my wife Kaori and me. Ironically, we hadn’t really hiked together. We had a typical city-centered romance of museums, movies, and fine dining. Then we got married and had a kid. I got the KCIII without consulting her and prought it home for use during my Saturday Daddy-Daycare shift. But Kaori has come on every hike and it has been an unexpected boon, adding to an already fulfilling marriage.
