Since high school, he has been in two collegiate All-State Bands, the Woodlands Youth Symphony, as well as the professional Woodlands Symphony Orchestra, several different jazz bands, chamber groups, and the University of Houston Symphonic Winds ensemble. Over the last six years, David gained piano proficiency and picked up the electric bass guitar. These instruments offered new challenges and have proven to be rewarding in allowing new and different musical perspectives and collaboration opportunities.
David is currently completing his final year of University and hopes to continue teaching upon graduation. With his degree, he hopes to work within a major symphony orchestra or similar ensemble and eventually gain a position as a composer in residence.
