He has received the Golden and Silver Reel from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters and three Siegenthaler Awards for excellence in journalism from the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association. David began his broadcasting career in 1980 working for a CBS affiliate in Florida before moving to New York to work for HBO and the United Nations in their satellite uplinking and audio divisions, respectively. He taught computer graphics at Media Alliance and Center for Electronic Art and ran a graphics business, the Digital Design Factory, in San Francisco.

His vision for Outright Radio is to bridge the gap between gays and straights by moving listeners toward real compassion with universally interesting stories.
