Born and raised in Montclair New Jersey, David bought his first guitar at age 7 in the hopes of attracting all the local ladies. David would soon find that the instrument was his favorite hobby and eventually, his lifestyle. After about 5 years of playing guitar became David’s way of expressing his un-speakable emotions. One of the founders of Wingate, Davids unique and expressive guitar playing brings a heavy emotional flavor to the bands sound.
