Dave Dahl’s life hit rock bottom with over 15 years in and out of prison for drug-related charges. Growing up in Oregon, he’d been a troubled kid turned addict, but behind bars, something clicked. He started working in his family’s bakery while incarcerated, learning the craft that would change everything. After his release in 2004, Dave didn’t just join the team—he transformed it. He created Dave’s Killer Bread, a line of organic, bold-flavored loaves that took off in health food stores. Today, it’s a multimillion-dollar brand sold nationwide, and Dave’s story doesn’t stop there. He hires ex-felons, giving them the second chance he got. “Prison taught me I could rebuild,” he once said. From dough to prosperity, Dave proves success can rise from the toughest places.
