After growing up in Montesano, Washington and attending The Burnley School of Art in Seattle, David bought a one-way
ticket to New York, and with $200 in his pocket, set out for Madison Avenue. He spent ten years working for top agencies like Grey and DDB, then co-founded Janklow & Bender,
an award-winning ad agency creating campaigns for Tumi,
The Walt Disney Company and Johnson & Johnson.
In 1991, David sold the agency in order to pursue his true passion: a career in the arts. Since then, he has maintained his Brooklyn studio, showing work at Scope Miami, The White Room Gallery, Woodward Gallery, Arcadia Contemporary and Arden
Gallery. This fall his work is being shown at The Brinton Museum in Wyoming to showcase a residency he spent there last year. He is represented by The White Room Gallery in East
Hampton, New York.
