Since the age of five, Dave has been practicing various art forms, but has always found himself making a living in more practical professions.

Dave is also the proud self-published author of a collection of cartoons, It Only Hurts When I Laugh, with a portion of the profits going to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
