  • Step Up to the Mic! #11 - Author/ Artist/ Speaker. Dave Letterfly Knoderer!
    Dec 6 2025

    Playfulness is the reason for the unusual aptitude that began long ago during his teenage years on the circus. Later, over three decades, he understudied the best of the best upper-level horse trainers including those in the circus culture to grasp the artform of the Haute E’cole – meaning a horse schooled to the highest level. These lessons also segued into practical social applications and influenced his creative output especially with publishing five books. Creating beautiful works of art financed this passion as Dave became an award winning performer on his dancing horses. But a silent adversary threatened to take it all away. Thanks to the process of recovery from alcoholism, he adopted a completely different design for living his life that included the mission to become a source of inspiration and encouragement to others. During the climb out of addiction, he also became the most prolific of all the motorhome airbrush mural artists in the RV industry. His example is especially valuable for those who find themselves in the dark providing proof that there is always a way out. This is his story. Listen now.
