David began stitching in 1989. Over the past 16 years he has served as local chapter president of both EGA and ANG, taught at national seminars and contributed to Needle Pointers. His involvement in the needlearts included owning a needlework shop in Santa Rosa, California, called Club Stitch. David currently lives in San Diego, California, where he designs and writes stitch guides for his wholesale needlepoint designs.

David writes:

"After a heart attack in 1998, I decided that I had to make some changes in my life. With a tremendous amount of thought, I sold the store, relocated to the San Diego area, and now devote full time to the designing and teaching of needlepoint. I travel all across the country teaching an art form that I love and doing what many think is exciting. To me it is a gift!

Who would have thought that a needle would have created a major life change, bring into my life some remarkable people, and even take me to the White House where my work is a permanent part of the White House Ornament Collection and a part of American history".
