In 2001, David first cut his teeth in the gigging industry as the dummer in a punk rock band. In 2007, he taught himself to play the acoustic guitar, began writing and performed often at open mic nights. In 2009, David was discipled biblically 1 on 1 for three years, during which he joined a church, was baptized and benefited from the power of community in his life. In 2014 he experienced nerve damage in his hands and wrists and wondered if he’d ever write and perform again. After falling to his knees in prayer, God began to teach him about the joys of worshiping the giver rather than the gift. 9 months later the nerve damage had subsided, and David began to write about his relationship with God.
He has networked with many industry professionals including Tom Jackson (Live music producer for Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendez), Billy Smiley (Audio Engineer of Johnny Cash, Taylor Swift, Korn, Evanescence), Grant Norsworthy (Former member of Sonic Flood, Founder of MoreThanMusic Mentoring), Ken Stoerts (Founding Member of Skillet, President of Visible Music College) and Supreme (Affiliate member; Wutang Clan) gaining insight on how to successfully run a music business. 
Some of his notable performances include: The United States Coast Guard Festival, and the 2015 Unity Christian Music Festival (Sharing the roster with Third Day, Ryan Stevenson, Dan Bremnes, and Ginny Owens). 
David has recently joined a movement called The Extreme Tour, which partners with Community Groups and Clubs, Civic Organizations, Churches, Schools and Institutions, Government Agencies, and Municipalities who work charitably to meet the needs of the disenfranchised and underserved. 
For almost 30 years now, in hundreds of communities scattered throughout over 20 countries, team members and partners of The Extreme Tour have been on a mission to use their gifts, skills, and abilities to bring Love, Hope, Unity, and Vital Resources to people in need. It is not a tour, but a movement. Souls, not shows.
Because the artists and staff on the Extreme Tour are unpaid, David is responsible for all the costs involved in his travel. If you’d like to support him in his goals, consider hiring him for a live gig!
