DAVID COCHENOUR

BOARD MEMBER

Dave and Lori have resided in North Canton for the last 30 years and he has been a resident of North Canton for 55 years. He graduated from Hoover High School in 1980 and the University of Akron in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and passed the CPA exam in 1988. 



Dave retired from Fresh Mark, Inc. in 2023 after 39 years of service and served the last 23 years of his career as Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. 


He served as Board President of the Hoover Swim and Dive team for six years, the Hoover Sideliners for thirty years serving as President for the last six years. He also served as Chairman for the last four School Levy campaigns. 

He has been given many awards for his charitable work and in 2021 was inducted into the Hoover High School Hall of Distinction. 


Dave and Lori have five children all Hoover and College graduates. Zachary (Kent State), Alexis (Kent State), Lauren (Akron University and the Aultman School of Nursing), Michael (Ohio State), and Matthew (University of Miami in Florida) 


They have five grandchildren Hudson, Beckham, Cohen, Xavier, and Lyla and are fortunate that all grandchildren live within 15 minutes of them. 

  • What do you like to do in your spare time?

    Dave really enjoys working out and spending time with the grandchildren. He loves to travel and have visited many places since I retired. We enjoy concerts and date nights.  

  • What inspires you?

    My family inspires me. I have always felt my greatest accomplishment was to raise incredible children and guide them as they all graduated from college and have successful careers. 


  • Why are you on the board of directors?

    My passion has been to give back to our community, our schools, and our church. I believe in both sweat equity and financial equity and we have been fortunate enough to be able to do both. Serving on the Board of Directors gives me the opportunity to give back to a segment of the community I have not served. 

  • Who is a hero of yours?

    My dad who taught me hard work overcomes many obstacles and he instilled in me a passion to always give back and pay it forward.  

  • What is something quirky about you?

    There are probably a few days a year where I just sit down and binge watch tv shows or movies all day long. It is sort of a refresher where I don’t have to think or worry about anything.
