David was a 1979 graduate of Milton-Union High School, West Milton, OH where he played on the varsity football team with many friends.  He was a 1983 graduate of The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering and was a member of the CHI EPSILON honorary Civil Engineering Society.

Upon graduation, David came home and dedicated his life to building and expanding his father’s Civil Engineering firm, Thomas Winemiller and Associates, as a professional engineer and land surveyor in Vandalia.  While working full time for the growing business, he completed his Masters of Science Degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Dayton in 1992.  Active in the community, David served as a councilmember and Mayor in West Milton.  He was well respected as an engineer, surveyor and businessman, taking charge of Thomas Winemiller and Associates in 2005.  Known for his no-nonsense professionalism and excellent work throughout the Miami Valley and Richmond IN, he planned, designed and supervised many notable projects in both Ohio and Indiana.  

David loved spending time with his family at their cabin in West Virginia.  He spent many weekends in the hills hunting, riding quads, mowing the meadows with his John Deere tractor and enjoying free mountain life.  As an OSU grad, he followed the Buckeye football team with enthusiasm always, frustration sometimes, quietly--never.  He will be greatly missed by his entire family and especially by his cherished daughter, Madeline.
