David was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona with about 3 years of that time lived & went to school in Nogales, Arizona.  Graduated from school Sunnyside High School and attended the University of Arizona.  With his natural dancing talent auditioned for Julliard School for the performant arts while he did not make the cut off, he made New York City his home for about 17 years, working at the New York Law School and made many friends. He really loved NYC but after 9/11 wanted to be closer to his parents and family so he moved back to Arizona making Phoenix his new home, where he worked as an airline attendant with American West Airlines which gave him the opportunity to vacation to places like Spain, Puerto Rico and Australia. Unfortunately, due to mergers he was laid off and began working for Target where he remained until the end.

David had the brightest smile, biggest laugh that was contagious. He consistently came back to Tucson for most family occasions by always texting his brother & sisters with what was being planned. He will deeply be missed by his Family, extended Family, Friends and former Co-workers and Teammates.
