Secretary David P. Claiborne

David was born in 1978 in Boise, Idaho.  He has lived in the Boise area his entire life, except leaving for three years to go to law school at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.  He has an older sister that is a schoolteacher in Cascade and a younger sister that is a nurse in Colorado Springs.  David and his wife, Julie, have one daughter and two sons.

David is a licensed attorney in the State of Idaho since 2002.  He is a partner in the Boise law firm of Ringert Law Chartered, where he began law practice and has remained.  Ringert Law is a full service law firm that has been providing representation in Southern Idaho and Southeastern Oregon since 1926.  David's law practice focuses on civil litigation, primarily defending persons and businesses when others sue them.  He also assist with business organizations and sale, wills, guardianships, real estate matters, liquor licensing, and some domestic and criminal matters.

Obviously, David's main hobby is ATV riding.  He began riding ATVs when he was 10 years old, which also explains the few injuries in his life (broken arms, broken collarbone).  David has ridden throughout Idaho and eastern Oregon, and on the Oregon Coast.  He currently drives a Yamaha 400, his wife drives a Yamaha 350, and his kids ride a Yamaha 80.  David also enjoys anything in the outdoors, but spends most of his time in nature riding ATVs, hunting, fishing, or shooting.  He is active in Boy Scouts of America and leads Cub Scout Pack 165 in Meridian, Idaho.  David's daughter is active in competitive cheerleading, his older son plays baseball and football, and his younger son is growing to play those sports, so his family keeps him very busy.  David's professional hobbies include charitable representation of abused, abandoned, and neglected children, and active involvement in the Federalist Society (a lawyer organization that advocates for individual liberties, limited, and narrow government, and strict construction of the U.S. Constitution).

As Secretary of the Association, David keeps the minutes of the board meetings.  He also sits on the grant committee for the Boise ATV Trail Riders, which has been very active in securing grants to build that club's trail maintenance equipment.  In serving on that committee, the Boise club achieved its goal to gain enough funding to update its critical trail maintenance equipment and purchase a cargo trailer in which to store the equipment, and an ATV wagon for fieldwork.
