About Me


Currently, David provides day-to-day assistance with market research studies managing onsite logistics for in-depth interviews and focus groups as a Corporate Host.
As a consultant and Managing Editor, he assisted development of PULSE Magazine published by GMAD and enhanced editorial content that addressed issues within black gay America, in efforts to build stronger understanding of and among this community.
As the company's Business Manager improved structure and processes of daily activities for LaDuca Shoes, dance footwear manufacturer, retailer, and supplier to theatrical professionals and productions.
David was the Director of Membership for In The Life Media, a nonprofit educational corporation that produces In the Life, the multiple award-winning newsmagazine on public television. His influence affected the function of areas: fundraising, communications, web development, community relations, and volunteerism.
Before ITLM, he brought about improvements to financial systems structure as the Assistant to the Fiscal Director and provided fundamental fundraising essentials as a Development Associate for the National Black Theatre, Inc.
Having been an entertainment professional in fashion, theater, broadcast and advertising industries, David's skill sets effectively contribute to attributes that are key to customer/account relationships and provide insight in developing more functional workplaces. As an artistic talent, his representation from transnational agencies led to achievement as the first African American male in campaigns for designer Ralph Lauren and Clairol brand, and appearance in numerous endorsements and periodicals.
Having myriad interests, David finds time for contributing to the arts and healthcare communities through Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, GMHC Consumer Advisory Board, The Actors Fund, and the National Black Theatre, to name a few.
