YOUR HOST
I’m Dave Hall, the designer and owner of Home Port. I live off-site and travel a lot, so I may not be nearby when you arrive, but I’m always a text or call away. In warmer months I sometimes stay in my motorhome parked out back. If I’m around, I’d love to say hello, and then I’ll leave you to your privacy.
