David began studying the Spanish guitar at age 8 with Diego Corriente.  During his teen years, he began playing electric guitar rock bands and intensified his studies in classical guitar with private instruction from virtuoso guitarist, Michael Newman (youngest classical guitarist to debut in Carnegie Hall).  After being accepted to the prestigious Rutgers University - Mason Gross School of the Arts, David focused on performing with ensembles ranging from duos to quintets.  He consistently strives to expand his horizons by collaborating with other musicians and exploring all musical genres including Brazilian jazz, fingerstyle folk/blues, Celtic/Irish music, English lute music, "gypsy" jazz and anything else that captivates his ear.

Music has been a paramount part of my development in growing up as a person. I grew up listening to all kinds of different genres, and eventually developed an aspiration to do music for a living. I began playing guitar so I could write my own music and be able to perform my work at venues. Around the same time I was beginning to help out kids at my church's daycare and would soon find that I also had a passion for teaching people as well. I currently play in the Pop Alternative band out of Orlando, FL and have played in over a hundred different venues.  

I absolutely love teaching and love to help musicians reach their goals! I have had the privilege of teaching students over this past year and my love for teaching has grown so much that I want to teach more! I have had the privilege of playing in Florida's premier youth orchestras and even got the chance to play for the Baltimore Symphony! I have also had the privilege of recording several projects for solo artists and bands. My love for the cello knows no bounds! It is the instrument of the soul!
