“The more you do, the more you get to do” – Tom Savini.

Ten words that changed everything. David’s career has been as diverse as his interests. After 30 years of working as a professional chef he came to the realization that it was time to pursue his life long passion of writing. Dave studied Media Communications in High School and majored in Photography winning the Outstanding Achievement Award his senior year for his freelance work covering major touring bands of the time. Hanging out with the likes of Journey, Huey Lewis and the News, Thin Lizzy and UFO while exciting was not conducive to having a good family life so he put away the camera and picked up a Chef’s knife and built a highly successful career working for major hotel chains but the world of Media was never far from his mind as he was always writing and submitting interviews, reviews and anything else he could think of to local publications. In 1997, at the very beginning of the Internet craze he and a friend took a chance and created a website for horror legend Tom Savini and to their surprise Tom discovered it and invited them to develop his “Official” site. While the partner moved on long ago, Dave still maintains Savini.com today. That opportunity opened many doors and Dave has since constructed websites for Academy Award wining effects artist Dick Smith as well as other genre notables. With his children all grown and some free time on his hands Dave decided in 2011 to pursue his college ambitions and enrolled at Full Sail University in their Creative Writing program receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in 2013. During the course of obtaining that degree he discovered his true passion, journalism and he received his Master's Degree in NMJ in 2015. As a life long fan of all forms of entertainment he quickly found himself engulfed in the colorful and exciting world of horror journalism as the lead news reporter for the popular fan destinations Diabolique Magazine and The Horror Channel. Not satisfied with only reporting genre news he also contributes regularly to RockRevolt Magazine where he is able to review current metal releases as well as interview rock celebrities and concert events. He also contributes to House of Horrors where he reviews films and home video releases. Politically active Dave often contributes to AddictingInfo.org where he is able to voice his opinion and report on a wide variety of current events. Dave also co-hosts Horror News Radio.
