First generation in his family to grow up in America, Dove's parents migrated from Israel in the early 1970s. Dove, his identical twin and older brother, grew up traveling back and forth from Philadelphia to Israel. At age 17, Dove prepared to attend a university in Connecticut and began his acting career in New York City years later. He spent most of those years in between traveling to other countries, learning about many different crafts, and working in a many different fields. In 2005 Dove began what soon became a noted and successful bartending career where he has worked in top clubs and bars in both NYC and today in Los Angeles, though he no longer works in this industry. Dove has remained very close to his identical twin brother even though they didn't live in the same state from 1996 to 2007. Now both brothers are living in California and annually fly back to Israel to visit family. Dove's older brother and parents now live in the Philadelphia area.
