About Me

David starting playing guitar at age 12 and was playing in bar bands at the age of 15. David has playing in various cover bands opening for such acts as Winger, Slaughter, Firehouse, Bone Angels, XYZ, and Johnny Lang. David was also the guitar tech for Shrapnel recording artist Todd Duane (who also was David's main guitar teacher) and R&B Billboard chart toppers Mint Condition. A graduate of Musicians Technical Training Institute in Minneapolis, MN in 1996, David has used that knowledge to record music for HeadGames Publishing, now Activision Value on their best selling series of games for PC with Matt Fink (Dr. Fink) formerly of Prince and the Revolution. David has also done charting for some of the local Jazz legends in the Minneapolis, MN Jazz scene. David has also developed his own teaching curriculum for guitar theory. David re-dedicated his life to Christ in 1997 and has never looked back. Playing only in Christian bands or on worship teams since then, David has decided to use the gifts God gave him to glorify Jesus. David joined the band Difference United in 2006 and immediately went on tour in Romania with them. Difference United is a Christian band trying to reach the lost with message of Christ.
David also owns his own wealth management firm in Franklin, TN. They work with women and artists to help address all the financial concerns from cashflow, investments, insurance, retirement, wealth accumulation/preservation, tax strategies, estate planning & business planning.
