Originally from West Bend, Wisconsin, David earned a Bachelor's Degree in English - Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin Madison. After serving as Deputy Editor of The Madison Review, UW's nationally renowned literary journal, David redirected his classical narrative storytelling training to the new canvas of screen-writing, and moved to Los Angeles to further pursue the craft. He has since written a number of original screenplays, including the critically acclaimed, cult favorite horror-satire Derrière le masque (2006), directed by Scott Glosserman.

David is also one of three subjects in the Mercury Productions documentary Dreams on Spec (2007) , by filmmaker Daniel Snyder, which showcases the trials and tribulations of pursuing a screen-writing career in Hollywood.

Upcoming projects include a horror short film entitled Wait for It (2024), as well as the horror-comedy The Hills Only Have Eyes for You

      • Quotes
        Personally, it took me a long time to say that I was a screenwriter. It's a very difficult thing to say, because so many people try it and fail; it's tough to convince yourself. But once you turn that corner and say "I am a storyteller," once you acknowledge that in yourself, things get a lot easier. - Interview, Icons Of Fright, July 2007
