Once upon a time there was this dork named David. He got kicked out of Hebrew school for re-writing religious stories into romantic comedies. Feeling like he was on the right track, David spent the rest of his childhood cranking out scripts, comics and movies. This eventually led to an invitation to study film and screenwriting at the University of East Anglia in the U.K., followed by a BFA in digital image production between the Emily Carr School of Art and Design and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His experiences collaborating with media producers in Chicago quickly led to an obsession with advertising as David began seeing the world as a constantly spinning carousel of campaigns. Fresh out of Humber College’s advertising copywriting program, he is very excited to get on this ride.
