David was born in Mexico and immigrated with his family to Canada at the age of 16. He began his acting career during university, landing a role in a production of Romeo and Juliet. From there he began his journey into film and TV, falling in love with the production side of film, and ultimately gathering enough courage to try his luck with directing and producing. David also has a degree in Physics and one in History, and he hopes to one day combine his love for science and for film into interesting projects.
