About Me:
I am a people person. I love my friends, the best one being my younger brother Kit(only a year and a half between us.) I'm into real conversation between good people, always over a bottle of wine or some martinis. I like things that make life feel like magic: a good round of golf, a great woman, performing for a great audience. I am a reader, I can cook, and I like hosting parties. I am laid-back, I'm harder on myself than I am on others.
I am a singer and actor by training, musical theater, opera, some film and TV.
I have a low voice...
I really want to be a rockstar.(who doesn't?)
I have a great, tight-knit family with two exceptional parents.
Who I Want to Meet:
Friends who love the same things I do. Social people, who truly know how to have a good time without having to be entertained. People who laugh at me and with me.
For more then friends: Hot, Happy, Confident, Fun.

David is a cool guy, but he says I make him feel old. As someone very young in the theater bussiness I feel like I can actually talk to david and he doesnt treat me like a little kid, its really nice. I dont know him well but I have had some nice convo's with him. I have only known him for a few weeks but I already feel like he wants to help me with my dream of Stage Managing. I am usually scared around people adults I dont know but for some reason I am not afraid of David, I cant see him hurting anyone ever. I see the 2 most important people in the world to me in him. People who push you to be your best, support you, trully care, and ALWAYS have your back. I wish there were more people in the world like that. David is what i call the big brother type. I hope I get a chance to know David better, cause there just arent enough people like him in the world.

How is it possible that I'm the first to testify on Davey's behalf? Perhaps he's just that indescribable. Dave, hold your ears - I don't want you to get a big head. Davey is classy, cultured, suprising, engaging, engulfing, generous and intriguing. I hesitate to say anymore because I'm greedy and selfish and want to keep my friend all for myself. He ain't bad to look at, either.

The Pathfinder. Dave has one of those rare, open minds that remains curious about so many things. He goes after whatever is in his focus with purpose and passion. From baseball to opera, he's always been a performer who made me proud to say, yeah, I'm his dad. Any questions?

David is also quite good at climbing trees. I have photographic evidence.

Having known David for 8 years on a day
to day basis in middle school, I can say
that he defined charismatic for me as a
kid. He always strived to be his best at
sports, music, performance, and
academics. He was always a good guy
unless you got in his way. Kit and David
used to practice dance moves in their
basement for dance parties. Even at a
young age they were always ready to
perform. Dave played saxophone in the
school orchestra. I remembered he was
very bored of playing the bassoons role
on Sax (there is not sax in orchestral
scores). Every time the band screwed up
Dave would adlib some jazz melody. I
think he was one of the few people in the
orchestra that could actually hit all the
correct notes. Over all Dave was pretty
much always good at everything he did
which is pretty amazing considering it
was middle school. He was always a
good guy in the end and wouldnt let you
down. If you ever were playing dodge
ball or doing a class project you wanted
to be on his team.

David is beautiful in many ways. The
first thing I noticed is how attractive he
is. That can't be helped - he's drop
dead gorgeous. Upon initially speaking
with him someone might think, "What a
fun, outgoing, charming, sexy guy!" He
likes to party, and he makes sure
everyone around him is having just as
good a time as he is. That is one
aspect of Dave. But there are other
facets to him that I wish everyone would
take the time to unearth and fully
explore, such as his commitment to and
love for his family, his passion for and
dedication to performing in many
different capacities, his intelligent,
searching, open-minded, non-
judgemental understanding of all kinds
of people, and his desire to be a good
friend and to give unconditional support
to his loved ones. Dave is a gem. If you
want a positive, warm-hearted,
enthusiastic person with whom to
discuss life, David is your guy. I'm
fortunate to know the David underneath
it all, and I'm thankful for his presence in
my
