Upon graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with degrees in History, Government, and a teaching certificate.,[5] David auditioned for a job doing rotoscope animation on Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly which he heard about through a weekly sketch group he attended in college.[6] He got the animation job and credits this experience on A Scanner Darkly for showing him "how versatile a digital toolset can be"[6]

David's first creator-owned original graphic novel, The Joyners in 3D, was published in 2014 through Archaia/BOOM! Studios.[4] Written by R.J.
