David was born in Montreal Canada and then went on to receive his BFA in musical theater at Emerson College, in Boston. After graduation, in 1991, he did a month run as Fyedka in Fiddler on the Roof, which was slated for a Russian Tour. The tour was cut short by the revolution started by Boris Yeltsen. At that time, David flew to Los Angeles, where he has resided ever since. David’s musical abilities lead him to write and produce the theme song for the TV series “Misguided Angels”. In the “Annette Funicello Story”, David really was playing the piano and singing as a young Paul Anka.

Trivia

Here's an interesting tale of a failed pilot. In 1993 David starred in a show called Reality Check. His supporting cast included Tiffany Thiessen, Giovani Rabisi, and Hillary Swank. The writer/producers of the show had another pilot that same year: Friends! Reality Check was slated for Sunday nights between The Simpsons and Married with Children, when Fox got the rights to football. Some genius there thought this show, being highschool based, would lose too much of the football family audience. Guess he was kicking himself after seeing Friends becoming the biggest new hit since Seinfeld and watching Hillary take home the Best Actress Oscar.

More Trivia

In 1999/2000 David was CEO of Litoptions.com - a start up b2b internet company for the entertainment community. But like most internet companies, he found the bubble burst in 2000 too strong to withstand. The irony here is that the very summer after closing the company's doors, David landed the lead role in Wrong Number, opposite Eric Roberts, where he played.....you guessed it; the CEO of an internet company.

Even More Trivia

Some of you may already know that David is a musician. He is credited with having written and produced the theme song for his last TV series, Misguided Angels, along with long time writing partner, Mitch Magonet. But here are some musical performances you might not have realized. In The Annette Funicello Story, David is really playing the piano and singing as a young Paul Anka. As they were lighting his first scene, someone handed him the sheet music to Put Your Head On My Shoulder and said "you'll be playing and singing this."  Guess that musical theory class payed off. David was also playing and singing live when he serenaded DJ on Full House, which he also wrote the music to.
