Dave Coulier was born David Alan Coulier on September 21, 1959, in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, United States. Dave and Arlen Coulier are his parents. His father worked as a foreman, and his mother worked as an interior decorator. He was the third of the couple’s five children. Dave is a blend of French-Canadian, 1/4 Ashkenazi Jewish, and perhaps more ethnicities.
In 1977, he graduated from Harper Woods, Michigan’s Notre Dame High School, an all-boys Catholic school. He was a hockey lover who imitated his professors and played the piano in front of his friends, earning him a prize from the school’s specialists. In school, he and his friend Mark Cendrowski liked to write and perform drama chokes. When he used to play stand-up theater at Detroit’s Comedy Castle, he became friends with Tim Allen, a comedian. He enlisted at the University of Michigan for a short time after graduation. In his first year, he dropped out to pursue his dream of becoming a comic book artist.
