Originally from Texas, Dave grew up in Los Angeles where he previously worked in the film industry for over twelve years. He learned the importance of the right cast for the right character, believable dialog, and keeping the audience engaged. This knowledge he took and applied it to his writings to come. Currently, Dave lives in the Inland Empire, Ca. with his wife and daughter. He's been a member of the California Writers Club, Inland Empire Branch, since 2006 and participates in reading and speaking events. He is also a member of the Inlandia Institute-a writers group in Riverside, Ca, since 2016 and   participates in readings and book events. In 2022 he participated in five book events where he did readings and promoted his books.  

When he's not writing Dave enjoys novels from his favorite authors, like James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Heather Graham, and Janet Evanovich to name a few, especially thrillers and paranormal detective. He loves sci-fi/fantasy, ghost stories and, of course, the strange and unusual.       

Dave began writing in Spring of 2004 and discovered a new world in story telling. His first book was a collection of twelve short stories based on lucid dreams of the strange and unusual, stories he had compiled over the past twenty years, which was quite an undertaking of a project. It required research on lucid dreams and on how to put this book together. That's when he discovered Ray Bradbury's short stories collection, "One More For The Road."  After that he was hooked and put his first book together: "Tales of a Lucid Dreamer." The book was later revised and re-released with a new cover design in 2013. The book continues to sell copies to this date. The experience of writing and publishing a book has been rewarding. He has since written three more books. See Dave's Books Below. 

Dave previously attended Valley College, San Bernardino, Ca. where he had been studying the arts and computer graphics. He had to take time out on writing. He is now working on book five. 

As all writer's know, you have to be knowledgeable of the world around and the everchanging trends, especially the literary industry for the independent author. Writer's have to attend book fairs, meet other authors, agents, and stay informed through the internet's valuable resources or join a writing club. Knowledge is power. 

A good writer reads a lot. Read, read, read. Write, write, write. 

Finally, my new release "Something Wicked Out There" is here. Available in paperback and eBook through Barnes&Nobles and Amazon, and other online book stores. See Image below.
