Dave Hester, famously known for his booming “Yuuup!” on Storage Wars, was one of the show’s most polarizing figures. As both a savvy businessman and a master of drama, Dave kept fans entertained with his cutthroat tactics and no-nonsense attitude. But after a series of controversies, including a legal battle with the show, fans are left wondering: where is Dave Hester now?

Hester’s departure from Storage Wars came after he sued the production in 2012, alleging the show was staged. Though he briefly returned in later seasons, his presence on the show dwindled, and he eventually moved on entirely.

Today, Dave Hester remains active in the auction world, running his own auction business. He continues to buy and sell storage lockers but with far less public fanfare. Hester has also focused on his health following a near-fatal stroke in 2018, which he’s called a wake-up call to slow down and prioritize his well-being.

While he may no longer be a regular on reality TV, Dave’s impact on Storage Wars is undeniable. His larger-than-life personality and memorable catchphrase secured his place as one of the show’s most unforgettable stars. Fans who miss his antics can still follow his business ventures and occasional updates online.
