A “by-ear” pianist since he was old enough to reach the keyboard, David began private piano technique and theory instruction at age 6 under the tutelage of Dr. Judith Kierstead, and by age 8 was accompanying his elementary-school chorus and writing his own songs. At his high-school commencement ceremony at Merriweather Post Pavilion, he and two other vocal soloists performed a piece he had composed for the occasion, backed by the school choir and accompanied by piano and solo flute. David studied with Truman Bullard (theory & composition), Pong-Hi Park (piano), and Brenda Smith (voice), and received a Bachelor of Arts (cum laude) in Music Composition & Theory from Dickinson College, where he was also honored with both the Emil R. and Tamar Weiss Prize in the Creative Arts and the Gould Memorial Drama Prize. His graduate work in theology earned him a Master of Divinity from Lancaster Theological Seminary, where several of his original choral compositions were debuted. In 2005 he returned to his alma mater to serve on the Music faculty at Dickinson, where he teaches piano, accompanies vocal ensembles, coaches voice students, and serves as Musical Director for musical theatre productions. He also serves as Music Director for the Unitarian Universalists of the Cumberland Valley, and composes, performs, and records with Three Twelve. David and his partner Mark have been together since 1995, and share a home in Pennsylvania with their four feline “kids”: Allegra, Tobias, Sophia, and Stewart.
