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 producing and engineering live events in National Geographic’s Grosvenor Auditorium.
In the Autumn of 2017, David became the director of development for a nonprofit radio station, Cape May Radio WCFA 101.5 FM in Cape May, New Jersey, and coincidentally joined the independent concert promotion and production company, I.M.P. (9:30 Club) where 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. In 2022, David elevated his position at The Anthem to Executive Assistant to the General Manager.
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 leads 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 – Philadelphia corridor.
David grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia near Little Timber Creek in New Jersey. He now resides in Cape May, NJ, and Washington, D.C. with his wife, son, and dog Riley.Â
