From an early age, David was a dedicated and passionate creative person, but music was where his interest and abilities first flourished. This took the shape of a lengthy career as a singer/songwriter, including a stint as a writer/recording artist in Los Angeles in the late 80’s.

In 1994 the urge to expand into the visual arts led him to start his own faux finishing company, which was his first foray into visual art. Through this, David enjoyed considerable success with his highly sought after work on high-end residential and commercial projects in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and China. His work on the lobby of the Wilshire Grand in L.A. won an Interior Design Institute Award in 2001.
