About David
I've had considerable success in screenwriting contests: won the Final Draft Big Break Feature Grand Prize in 2022 -- top script out of ten thousand. Also been a Nicholl Finalist and placed in other notable contests. Now I seek representation with the ultimate goal to become a full-time working writer.
What currently pays the bills: writing ad copy and flipping houses.
I have bungee-jumped in a New Zealand gorge. Also gone sky-diving (a near disaster) and Class V whitewater rafting (nearly drowned).
Not much violence in my knife, but I've encountered guys with a knife, tire iron, and nun-chuks.
Also helped raise two kids -- much scarier than anything above.
How you doin'?
