15 years in prison.

That’s a tough way to find yourself. Dave Dahl realized he was in the wrong game and knew he had more to offer. His brother, Glenn, saw a change in him and gave Dave a second chance by welcoming him back to the family bakery. Dave set out to make a loaf like no other – the most nutritious, organic whole grain bread – and the result is what he called “killer” bread.

Dave’s Killer Bread® is built on the belief that everyone is capable of greatness. What began as one man’s journey has turned into so much more. Today, one third of the employees at our Oregon bakery have a criminal background, and we have witnessed first-hand how stable employment sparks personal transformation.

While many companies are hesitant or reluctant to consider hiring someone with a criminal background, Dave’s Killer Bread recognizes that “your future is not defined by your past.” They see beyond the mistake or poor choice that someone made and instead look at the whole person – their talents and skills, their true character, and their determination to turn things around.


One in four Americans has a criminal background.
