David started early by publishing three underground comics before he was 18. Gooby, Sartorial Titbits and St Kilda Funnies were photocopier produced and distributed to shops around Melbourne. Later, David did a cartoon strip called Punkz for Juke Magazine and was the Editorial Cartoonist for The Truth in 1989/1990 and even won an award in 1990 at the Coffs Harbour / Rotary National Cartoon Awards.

His biggest achievement in cartooning was the release of the comic book, Punkz In Space, that was distributed to news agencies nationally.

During the 1980’s, David sang and played bass in the Punk band, Thrush. By the 1990’s, he was singing and playing bass in the Gothic rock band, Darkness Visible, which is still going to this day. Darkness Visible have had songs on numerous compilation albums and have appeared in two of Mick Mercer’s Gothic Rock books – The Hex Files and Music To Die For. They have also released eight music videos and have another on the way.

David’s main love though, is acting. This is a more recent development but in the last year and a half, he has been on sets regularly. He has also produced and directed a segment for Shane Ryan’s Ted Bundy Had a Son as well as a short film called Dark Night of the Zomboogies, which debuted at the Warrandyte Film Feast.

David’s love of cinema also extends to writing. He does articles and interviews for OZ Indie Cinema, Creators.co and The Movie Blog. These cover all aspects of the Australian indie movie industry.
