Born with cerebral palsy, David publicly advocates for equity for people with disabilities in the worlds of business and entertainment, and has spoken on narrative, disability and media for audiences at The Kennedy Centre, HBO, AFI Silverdocs, the Veterans Affairs Office of Los Angeles and elsewhere.
