​He creates inventive combinations of technology and storytelling for immersive experiences. David has spent his entire life as a storyteller both on and off stage, working in roles from performance, to production for almost 30 years. He spent eight years at the famed Metropolitan Opera in New York City working in technical design and construction. He also managed Nightmare: New York’s Most Terrifying Haunted House, rated America’s #1 haunted house, and holds a BFA in Drama/Theatre Arts from New York University. Along his creative path, David developed a passion for identifying budding technologies, and discovering new ways to integrate them into performance, further engaging the audience and the story. In 2018, David left the Metropolitan Opera to pursue what can only be described as the culmination of his experience and his passion. David then got his diploma in Advanced 3D Modeling, Sculpting and Texture from CG Spectrum College of Digital Art and Animation. From there, he tapped into key relationships both in the arts and technology worlds, and with a lot of encouragement he invented Ovees™ and founded Zanni.
