In April of 1992, David graduated with a recording arts degree from Full Sail University in Florida and started working as a pro audio sales consultant for Sam Ash Music, and moonlighting as a stagehand for an amphitheater in Camden, NJ. Seven years later, he would begin his 17-year career with the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C. supporting the audiovisual, media production, and information technology departments, and produced and engineered live events in National Geographic’s Grosvenor Auditorium.
In the Autumn of 2017, David became the director of development for a nonprofit radio station, WCFA 101.5 FM Cape May, New Jersey, and coincidentally joined the independent concert promotion and production company, I.M.P. (9:30 Club) when he was assigned to manage digital signage and venue technologies for The Anthem performance venue in Washington, DC. – working over 600 concerts and events in a 6,000-capacity venue. David added Executive Assistant to General Manager to his duties in 2022.
David has a strong interest in recording studios, concert halls, entertainment venues, theaters, and supper clubs, and tends to gravitate toward people who are passionate about these spaces, the technology integrated within, and the people who inhabit them. This passion led him to an avocational association (2009 – present) with the WSDG (Walters-Storyk Design Group), where he’s acquiring an elevated understanding of the design and construction industry specializing in architectural acoustics and media systems engineering while representing WSDG in the Washington DC and Delaware Valley/Philadelphia Metropolitan areas.
David grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia near Little Timber Creek in New Jersey. He resides in Cape May, NJ with his wife, son, and dog Riley.
