David is a graduate of Frederick High School, class of 1979. He had fell in love with music at an early age and continued to pursue his love for music as he was a drummer, guitarist and singer. He played with the band Close Call at Rabbits Foot and various other artist collaborations over the years. He would attend karaoke with his friends on a regular basis and would still sing his heart out up until he got sick. Although his passion was music, he became a locksmith after trade schooling.

He serviced various counties in Maryland and the NOVA region providing the best customer service experience for those in their time of need while also giving back to the community.
