A native of Virginia, David attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and

as appellate litigation before the Sixth Circuit. David then moved to Washington, D.C.

technology companies in commercial, securities and antitrust litigation. David then moved
to a regional litigation firm, where he practiced in the area of products liability before getting
the opportunity to return to Charlottesville.
In his spare time, David is an avid Redskins and Cavaliers fan who tries to justify his
golf game as "good exercise."
