Biography

At the age of five, after watching Jaws (1975) at a drive-in theater, David relocated with his family to Martha's Vineyard. Growing up on the island, he developed a fearless attitude toward the water and a strong passion for film. He appeared as a local high school band member in Jaws: The Revenge (1987) during his high school years.

After graduating, he moved to Pittsburgh, PA, known as the zombie capital, and enrolled at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. There, he studied trade show design, prop/model building, and special makeup effects under industry legend Tom Savini. Soon, David began working on various films being produced locally. His first project was a PBS TV movie titled Darrow (1991), starring Kevin Spacey, where he initially assisted with prop fabrication and later became Spacey’s stand-in. He also appeared as an extra in Bob Roberts (1992), but it was with The Cemetery Club (1993) and Money for Nothing (1993) that he secured full-time work as a Prop Assistant. He was quickly offered a position in Hollywood working alongside Prop Master Eugene McCarthy.

With only $100 to his name, David packed his belongings and drove cross-country, narrowly escaping a fatal car accident in April 1993 near Miami, Oklahoma. His car flipped three times and collided with a semi-truck. He emerged uninjured but lost nearly all his possessions in the crash. After borrowing money from a friend, he flew to Los Angeles and began work three days later on a Danielle Steel movie of the week.

David continued his career in the prop department before expanding into writing, producing, and directing. As of 2017, his company, Darkside Media, self-publishes comic books and graphic novels, including recent titles like Lovecraft P.I.: A Shot In The Dark and Berserkers: Solo Island.
