David is currently 30 years old, and lives with his family in Chicago. He grew up in Chicago, and went to the University of Illinois, graduating with degrees in Psychology (B.S. '13) and Social Work (MSW '17). During his time in college, he was able to live on campus, away from home, and be fully independent, thanks to a specialized residence program at the University. The unique living situation gave David the opportunity to have many typical experiences that others with Duchenne do not often get to have. Recognizing the uniqueness of his experiences was the catalyst for writing this book. David realized that his situation was a perfect case study of how much people with Duchenne can accomplish if given adequate support and encouragement. Prism is David's first book, and hopefully not his last. Most of his time is spent writing these days, but when he isn't writing, you can find David discussing disability-related topics on his YouTube channel-Ramp It Up, or following the stock market. David also has an insatiable interest in history and archaeology, specifically ancient Egypt and Rome; he is always looking to learn more, and never misses an opportunity to watch a new history show or documentary. And, when he is not doing any of that, you can find David on a video call with his college friends, playing video games, or relaxing and watching anime.
