Dave Pettitt

Get to know Dave.

I am originally from the small town of Walker, Louisiana located about 20 miles outside of Baton Rouge and where I still have lots of friends and family. I left Louisiana when I turned 19 to serve a service mission for my church. I spent the next 2 years of my life in and around the Lisbon, Portugal area as well as a seven month stint on the West African Island of Fogo, Cape Verde. My missionary opened my eyes and engrained in me a love of people and travel and I have wanted to see the world since. My parents thought I was kidding when I came home and told them I wanted to turn right back around and leave to go to school in Hawaii!

After two and a half years in Hawaii, and countless incredible experiences, many of my closest friends that I had made were moving to, or back to, Utah. Naturally, I thought I’d give that a try so I packed my bags, said my goodbyes and traded the sand for the snow in 2002!

Fast forward, now I live in Taylorville, Utah and I am an incredibly happy man! I’ve been married to my best friend since 2006 with a beautiful and spunky 9 year old girl who, admittedly, has me wrapped around her finger, a 7 year old boy who loves anything sports related, a 3 year old little boy who keeps us plenty busy, our sweet baby girl (and caboose), and our family dog, Bones, who is crazy!

I am a graduate of BYU-Idaho, a Loyal LSU fan (Geaux Tigers!!), and a UTE season ticket holder. I love to snowboard, boat, hunt, fish, coach my boys in their sports endeavors, and generally just hanging out with my family.

I am a residential Mortgage Planner by profession and have been since 2003. I have been blessed and lucky enough to survive and thrive through the whirlwinds of change through much diligence and an emphasis on service. Since 2013 I’ve managed the Union Park Branch of SecurityNational Mortgage Company which has been an incredible experience and taken me to places I never imagined. In 2016 I was named the Top Producing Loan Officer of the Salt Lake Region of SecurityNational and continue to produce at a high level year after year. I love what I do and live by the mantra “work hard, play hard!”
