Born in Arkansas in 1955, David was influenced by his mother, a history teacher, and his father, an amateur musician. Both fueled David's passion for music, including researching the histories of the artists he admired. After earning a degree in cinema, he moved to Hollywood, where he worked as video editor, audio producer, and music supervisor for various clients, including Walt Disney Home Video and Universal Studios Tour. Eventually, David was hired by Comcast Entertainment as a music supervisor, choosing music for hundreds of television shows and specials. David bought his first Peter and Gordon record when he was eight. Writing Peter Asher: A Life in Music, his first book, brings him full circle--telling the stories behind the records that have thrilled him since he was young.
