Education :
In early childhood David was misdiagnosed with autism, but credits his parent's home schooling and disbelief in this medical assessment as the reason for his normal development. He eventually re-entered the public school system without issues, and pursued math and science, eventually earning his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida International University. Briefly, he worked in the science and technology industry.
