About the Author

Author Info

Writing is David’s 3rd career. He started out as a professional recording and touring drummer/musician, and then became an award winning sales executive, working for both large media corporations and start-ups. He now focuses exclusively on writing children’s books, screenplays and supporting family literacy.

In 2014, David created Sightline Media Entertainment LLC and a children’s book publishing imprint called “Sam’s Young Readers“. David’s first dog, Sam, pops up through a lifesaver, signifying the importance of reading at a young age. In fact, it is one of the most important activities a parent and child can share.

David’s goal is to create larger than life stories and pictures with his illustrators, Christopher Brown and Roberta Baird, that inspire young readers and their parents/caregivers to come together and share a reading adventure!
