His  gritty and satirical memoir of the years that he served in law enforcement in rural Maine, and his horror/thriller novels.

 David was born in Maine and has remained there his entire life. 

My childhood was spent at his family camp on'Dobsy', Lake in Lakeville Plantation. 

I grew up exploring the area surrounding Dobsy Lake and have hunted, fished, and wandered the surrounding woods and waters more times than he  can count. 

In my adulthood, the camp became my haven and escape from everyday life and work. Whether it was time spent with my dad while working on the camp, or weekend fishing trips with friends; many of my life experiences and adventures, as well as my best memories, were spent on Dobsy Lake.

At an early age, I became interested in art, having a close relative who had been a fairly

famous artist in the New England area.

 Primarily self-taught, his choice of medium
became pencil drawings and acrylic paintings.

 he has been lucky enough to have the
ability to incorporate character drawings into my writing, which I believe enhances the character development. 

Additionally, I have created the covers to all of my books.
 
As far as the book Two Seasons, many of the stories told to David by his father while they were at camp, 

along with a few of the more interesting adventures of their own became

the backdrop to create several of the chapters in his book. two seasons
 
During his career as a law enforcement officer, and later as municipal town manager, 

Ma’s in trouble again he had the opportunity to meet many interesting people, 

incorporating the eccentricities of those he met, plus family and close friends, 

into the individual characters highlighted in Two Seasons and Ma's Diner. 

The main character of 'Ma' herself is a combination of many great and influential women that I've known.
