David began his business representing only one artist back in 1984, he has since then grown his agency to 13 illustrators. His ability to adapt to shifts in the industry has contributed to his success. Making the change from traditional artwork to digital allowed him to keep up with the industries demand for faster and easier techniques of getting concept to final layout. Over the past several years, David has introduced his artists to on-line sourcing and advertising. Their work is featured on the Workbook.com and Theispot.com. Clients enjoy working with him not only for his knowledge in the industry, but for his ability to provide solutions to any challenges during a job. David’s “let’s figure it out” approach has kept a consistent client list calling back again and again.
David has resided in San Francisco for the past 24 years. David was born and raised in the Northwest, spending most of his time in the outdoors, skiing, hiking and camping. When he moved to San Francisco, he never knew he could live in such a beautiful and diverse city. In his spare time he enjoys spending time with family and friends, dancing Argentine Tango, golfing, hiking and traveling. David enjoys the simple pleasures in life… a great cappuccino, a good movie or a Puka Dog when traveling to Kauai. His newest hobby is wok cooking and he makes a mean Moo Goo Gai Pan.
