Dave and Jane, husband and wife, are the owners of Select Eyecare With over 50 years of combined optical experience, they offer expert eye care, extensive selection of eyewear and personalized customer service.
David began his optical training at Anoka Technical College, graduating with a degree in Optical Technology. After gaining experience in several optical labs David opened his own wholesale optical lab, The-Len’s Co. In 1996 David purchased his first retail eye care store, Select Eyecare located in Monticello, MN. With Jane’s degrees in Vocal Performance and Music Education, Dave assumed and stated “since you are good with music you would be good with numbers”. This is where Jane enters the family business.
With the success of the Monticello store, they soon opened additional locations. Each location continues to provide personalized service that you can’t find at discount giants and major chains, yet still offer highly competitive prices along with quality and fashion.
Dave and Jane met performing in local community theatre productions. This continues to be a passion for both as well as biking and walking their dog Charlie.
