My name is David and I’m a writer.

When I was young, I was told very regularly that I had a way with words. I liked words, they helped me make sense of things I didn’t understand. I could use them to build pictures in my head. I collected them in the same way my friends in the third grade collected NBA cards. Old habits die hard, I suppose. I’m 34 now and they’re still fascinating to me.

I was told then that I had a gift, but let’s be honest, that’s just what adults tell you when you’ve surprised them a bit. What I have now is experience, the will to improve and a desire to tell stories that might not be heard otherwise. Yours, perhaps.

This blog will be a showcase for my work. It will, I hope, communicate what my strengths are and how I can be of service to you.

Thanks for stopping by.
