David has held the world in his hands as easily as he has held a paint brush, and with as much reverence as holding his children.  Born and raised in New Jersey, he might have come to life in Kenya, where he went after meeting his wife, and new definitions for people that expand beyond color and money; definitions that are based on hard work, kindness and fellowship.  His first book is called The Open Pillow, a story that teaches children to think exponentially, and that there is a purpose for everyone.  The Open Pillow features the amazing illustrations of our own Dea Lenihan.
