/ Born on Long Island, New York, and raised
in Silver Spring, Maryland. He began drawing at age
four, and he’s never found a good reason to stop.
Winning several student film awards during his academic
career helped him to focus on developing his
abilities. Attending the UCLA Animation Workshop
brought his talent to the attention of others in the
animation community. Much of David’s career has
revolved around The Simpsons. After receiving his
M.F.A from UCLA in 1983, he freelanced in illustration
and animation. In 1987, he landed a job animating on
The Tracey Ullman Show—where The Simpsons got
their start, as short segments. Animating on all 48
shorts led to David directing many of the first episodes
when The Simpsons became a series, including The
Simpsons Christmas Special in December, 1989, and
the premiere episode a month later. David became
Supervising Animation Director as well as a producer
on the show. To date, he has directed 22 episodes of
The Simpsons, winning 4 Emmys along the way. In
the midst of his success with The Simpsons, David
was wooed away first to DreamWorks (The Road to El
Dorado, co-director), and then to Pixar (Monsters, Inc,
co-director), and Blue Sky (Ice Age, Robots, writing
and storyboarding). He returned to the series at the
end of 2003, and was chosen to direct the muchanticipated
film, The Simpsons Movie, released in
2007. Presently, David has a number of projects in
development, including directing a live-action feature.
