A native of Valdosta, Georgia, David is married to Kathy and lives in a nice house kept for the convenience of three orange cats and Jet the rambunctious Labrador Retriever. David enjoys turning large pieces of wood into smaller pieces of wood (sometimes mistakenly called furniture), painting walls (often with permission) and torturing a computer named Mic.
