David attended Naperville public schools, graduating with the class of 1971. At NCHS, he was active as a choral participant, and FFA and 4H member. David also was nurtured as a child and then a member of the United Methodist Church in Naperville. Summers were spent savoring time at his maternal family's farm near Mason City, IL and his paternal family's cottage on Lake Wawasee in Indiana. His delight in all aspects of farming and water skiing filled many wonderful days. Achieving a degree from Joliet Junior College, David later became a devoted employee of Cochrane Compressor Company of Melrose Park for 20 years.
