This is the premier CD for David who has been performing for many years. The official release of the CD was held on November 25, 2007 at a small country church, St. Edward's, in Mackville, WI. at a concert that featured many of the songs on this CD. The song collection, titled "I Remember Christmas" was designed to evoke memories of Christmas' past...from his childhood in the rural Midwest.

David began a performing career at the age of 5, singing at school and church in various productions, played principle roles throughout high school including Curly in Oklahoma, Billy Bigelow in Carousel, and others. From there, he studied vocal performance at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, and graduated from Lawrence Conservatory of Music in 1990 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music. A Master’s Degree Summa cum Laude from American Intercontinental University followed in 2003.

David’s stage and concert experiences are extensive, encompassing Opera, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Broadway, Pop and Sacred styles, with performances numbering over 300 as of 2007. Highlights include his one man shows, Cinderella (Panto) with the Gold Coast Theatre Company (with Davy Jones of the Monkees) and a duet of “Hello Dolly” with none other than Carol Channing in 2000.

Though classically trained, David’s love is Musical Theatre as his resume shows. Live performances and recording in this genre consume about 45 weeks of each year, a testimony to his dedication and love of “working” in the arts.

Performances in 2007 have taken David to the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, the Gleason Theatre in Miami, The Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, the Hollywood Center for Performing Arts, Century Village, Florinada Lakes, The Broward Stage Door Theatre and The South Florida Opera Company.

David’s love of music and singing is apparent in his delivery which can be smooth, seductive, lyric, dramatic, or comedic, depending on the song and genre of music. He is always an audience favorite whose demeanor suits his movie star looks and impressive talent.

2007 Performances schedule to date include the role of Ben in Menotti’s Comic Opera “The Telephone” with the Piccolo Opera Company, and “Lead Baritone” in “Some Enchanted Evening” a musical review by Rogers and Hammerstein at the Broward Stage Door Theatre in Coral Springs. The fall theatre season will open with David performing in “The World Goes Round” at the Tamarac Theatre of Performing Arts, a reprise of the role “Ben” in Menotti’s “The Telephone” with the Piccolo Opera, and in Gold Coast Theatre’s Christmas Pantomime as well as several soloist performances in various venues around South Florida. Early 2008, David will be playing the role of Robert in “Company” at the Willow Theatre in Boca Raton as well. Several recording projects are also underway at this time.
