David was a native Atlantan and grew up in East Atlanta near many of his aunts, uncles, and cousins.  He played youth baseball and enjoyed scouting, attaining the rank of Eagle Scout.  He graduated from Gordon High School in DeKalb County in 1964 and moved on to Young Harris College and later earned a degree in drafting from DeKalb Technical College.

He served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam era. After returning home he worked for Valiant Steel and Equipment Co. as a draftsman and sales consultant for many years.  He also worked as a warehouse manager for Williams Brothers Lumber Co. and a sales consultant for Optima Electronic Packaging Systems.

After retiring, he volunteered with the Lilburn Cooperative Ministry, Inc. an organization dear to his heart.
