David was born in Wichita Falls Texas in 1968, a third generation guitar player and singer. Through the years he had many musical influences, most of which were Texas singer songwriters and artists.

In 1993, he left his honky-tonk band, sold most of what he owned and took the 300 dollars and his wife of 30 days and moved to Nashville with a homemade trailer and a two-toned wreck resembling a truck. David took a job at the Budgetel Inn in Franklin, TN as a maintenance man and worked other odd jobs until 1997 when he met Sharon Archer. She introduced him to Estill Sowards of Hallmark Direction Co. and they signed him to an exclusive songwriting agreement.

David had his first cut with Terri Clark’s “This Old Heart” and over the next 2 years he had cuts by John Michael Montgomery, Clay Davidson, a the top ten single “Now You See Me Now You Don’t” recorded by Lee Ann Womack as well as a top 15 with “Before I Knew Better” recorded by Sony artist Brad Martin.

In 2001, Chris Ogelsby signed David to BMG Music Publishing and he had his first # 1 song “19 Somethin” recorded by Mark Wills, followed by his favorite song, “Letters From Home” recorded by John Michael Montgomery. Recently, David has had his songs recorded by Trace Adkins, Billy Currington, Lee Ann Womack, George Strait, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and currently he has the new single “Lucky Man” by Montgomery Gentry.

David attributes all of his success to his wife Stacie for believing and waiting tables while waiting on the dream, his daughter Jessee, and God for his continued guidance and grace.
