He graduated from Cortland High School (NY) in 1950; received his A.B. in Government from Cornell University; and received his JD and MBA (in Finance and Marketing) degrees from Cornell University.

He then embarked on a long and successful career in investment management. David held senior marketing roles at Baker, Weeks & Co., Alliance Capital Management, Dillon, Read & Co., Oppenheimer & Co. Inc, Trust Company of the West (TCW), and Federal Street Partners. Upon his retirement, David travelled extensively and pursued his passion for collecting Marklin model trains and W.

David was a member of The Knickerbocker Club (New York, NY) and The Belle Haven Club (Greenwich, CT). He was also a member of the First Friday Club of Greenwich and served as President of the Horseneck Club of Greenwich.
