David discovered his passion for filmmaking as a young boy growing up in Western Colorado. One summer, he and his best friend were given access to video camera. The two spent endless hours outside creating short films with GI Joe action figures, lighter fluid and matches. David has since gone on to work professionally as a director, cinematographer and aerial cameraman filming feature films, documentaries, commercials, projects for Netflix, MTV, NBC, ABC, CBS and numerous other networks.  

After more than 20 years of working with state-of-the-art motion picture cameras, he never dreamed he would unintentionally record a life-changing journey on his iPhone 3 when with he and his father Urban returned to an orphanage in Switzerland where Urban grew up. Neither of them had realized how profoundly Urban’s relinquishment 68 years earlier had impacted their family until the truth was finally revealed.  Today David is passionate about spreading the message about the impacts of relinquishment and adoption to the broader public at large through authentically told stories that have the power to transform.
