Dave Roll is a long time friend of Dave Carlson and began doing videography for Northland Adventures in December 2005. Dave is a lifetime resident of Eau Claire and a graduate of UW-Eau Claire with a bachelor's in music. Because of his musical background, Dave can produce special video projects that include custom music and sound design. Dave's dad started teaching him about camping, hunting and fishing at a young age and that love of the outdoors continues to present day. Combining a personal appreciation for the outdoors with professional interests in videography, writing and story-telling creates a perfect match. Being able to accurately capture and convey the stories and passion for the outdoors of the show's guests is a welcome challenge.
