Beginning as a teen making handycam films with his friends on the ski slopes, David has always wanted to tell compelling stories in a visually captivating way.
Throughout university David was greatly affected by social activism and this piqued his interest in documentaries. Telling stories that matter then lead to a post grad degree at Sheridan College specializing in documentary film-making and producing.
Since then David has honed his skills with numerous long and short-form projects, including branded content and commercials. Naturally empathetic and warm, he really enjoys the collaborative process with everyone coming together and contributing to the final outcome. Working in short-form production with other creative people has allowed David to develop a strong visual shorthand that is evident in his contemporary and evocative cinematic style.
David has worked with brands such as Lincoln, Microsoft, Absolut, The Glenlivet, Samsung and Sport Chek. And his most recently completed film, a documentary called “Freshwater” about the exceptional story of one man who surfs the stormy winter waves of the North American Great Lakes, has signed to US / international distribution with Principal Media, and set to hit TV and streaming platforms in 2021.
David lives in Toronto with his wife Bridget and adorable son Leo, and can be caught flying down the city bike lanes on his electric skateboard like he's Marty freak'n McFly!
