He was raised in Troy, attended Troy Schools, Trinity Pawling School, and Williston Academy, and graduated from Hamilton College in 1967. He served in the Navy as a photojournalist, producing photo stories used worldwide. David also used his photo skills as an official sports car photographer for Lime Rock Race Track, the 12 Hours of Sebring (FL), and many other sports car tracks. His scenic photographs of Nantucket appeared in national calendars, including Cape Cod Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following military service, he joined General Electric\u2019s Power Systems as a marketing communications project manager, writing and producing for print, video, speech support, and trade shows. He particularly enjoyed traveling throughout the U.S. for location photos and trade shows. In 1999, he moved to the NYS Department of Corrections, Corcraft, to produce marketing materials, visiting most maximum security correctional facilities.

He led the church property committee for over twenty years, overseeing capital and historical restoration projects as well as repairs and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
