David “discovered” the Episcopal church while an organ major at the University of Oregon. He moved to Seattle on June 15, 1969, to work at Olympic Organ Builders, where they built a dozen instruments. Needing to earn a living, he then specialized in typography, which became graphic design and IT management in commercial printing. Meanwhile he continued to be a substitute/interim church musician/organist for nearly 200 congregations until called to St. John's in 2004. After 15 years of faithful ministry to SJB as Director of Music and Organist, David retired from that position at the end of 2019. David continues his ministry at SJB, now in the position of Bulletin Guru.
