He studied film acting at the Dramatic Arts Studio in Michigan, and spent some time as an assistant teacher there, also taking classes in improvisation, voice over and film production. Dave has had extensive time on set since 2008, including doing voice over work, three television commercials, a dozen web commercials, and lead and supporting roles in dozens of independent feature and short films, receiving best male actor nominations at film festivals. A composer for film and stage, Dave continues working in nearly every area of the film industry, and in 2013 was commissioned to write musical stage plays for youth theatre.
