The REAL history starts in college at Rochester Institute of Technology, where his strip "The Brick Life" sold out compilation books in the school bookstore (no staples this time.) After college, intent on being the next syndicated success story, Dave submitted "Floyd of Earth" to the syndicates, getting his first major collection of rejection notices. After that, he created "Mulberry Place", a strip set in an apartment building of the Fan district in hometown Richmond, Virginia. The syndicates again had a good laugh (at it, not because of it). However it did get picked up by the Richmond-Times Dispatch and ran for a good year before it's untimely demise in the name of research polls.

Then came "Galapagos". Dave's most recent attempt again made the round of the syndicates, with only slightly better results. The now-defunct Future Features Syndicate represented Galapagos for a while, but alas to no avail. So now it remains here for all to enjoy while Dave continues with the other parts of his life: His family, his home-based animation business, and performing improv comedy with the national troupe ComedySportz. More ideas are floating around in his head for future developments, but for now just sit back, relax, and enjoy "Galapagos"!
