David worked for Columbia Southern University as a Web designer, and was revered and respected by his friends and co-workers as hard-working, creative, witty and kind.

David was exceptionally gifted at drawing and painting and had a natural talent for music, particularly the guitar and piano.
In additional to spending time with his family, he enjoyed reading, World War II history, walking on the beach, comedy and impersonations, making others laugh and break-dancing. He also loved to write and did so in such an elegant fashion.
