David was a 1978 graduate from Andrew Warde High School in Fairfield, CT.  David worked at various jobs over the ensuing years; he designed seasonal, and merchandise displays for Macy's Department Stores in Trumbull CT, worked in the food service department of Sikorsky Corporation in Stratford CT and pursued his passion of art taking adult classes in various art mediums and genres at University of Bridgeport and Housatonic Community College. His talent lay in pen and ink sketches of homes and businesses, still life art and commissioned requests. He was most intrigued by the art of the Dutch Masters, particularly the works of Rembrandt. Music was a favorite pastime for David, YES, Genesis, Doobie Bros and Beach Boys among others. He was thrilled to see many of these preform over the last year.
