David Graham

Director of Business Operations

David comes to us from the commercial world of food and hospitality. His career spans nearly every aspect of food service operations: from Director of West Coast Operations for a multi-billion-dollar company to owning his own restaurant here in Medford. His last position developed just as COVID struck and led him to work closely with both state and federal Emergency feeding operations. David helped create innovative delivery systems for millions of families struck hardest by isolation and quarantine issues. It was from this experience that David found a new path through helping charity organizations manage and maintain their programs. When David returned to Oregon to care for his ailing father, he sought out a role that would allow him to utilize his skills and help the communities he lived in.

David says: “OnTrack embodies all that I was seeking: a strong leadership who embraced its mission and vision, a leader within its community and a clear understanding of how to best serve the people most at risk and in need. I am proud to be part of this team and pleased to serve the public in such a vital role.”

Beyond his service at OnTrack, David splits his time between mentoring and tutoring students and chasing after his granddaughter.

Dennis Dreher

Director

It is said that Dennis isn’t really retired, it’s just that no one pays him anymore. An early fascination with animals led to a unique series of employment and educational experiences in veterinary, medical, and surgical research, leading to a 20-year association with a major medical device manufacturer. There he served in multiple roles including research, administration and technical education for associates and physicians around the world.

Following “cessation of salary” in 2012 or so, Dennis and his First Wife (now of nearly 50 years…) relocated to Grants Pass from Flagstaff, Arizona, supposedly to slow down a little and begin to travel for fun. So far, that remains an aspiration. These days, Dennis volunteers with the Mobile Integrative Navigation Team (MINT) in Grants Pass. MINT has opened Parker’s Place in Grants Pass to offer medical care and connection to various agencies working to assist the unhoused community.

When there’s spare time, Dennis can be found in his woodworking shop, goofing around in the garden, or reading something terribly interesting.
