He first joined the American Cichlid Association in 1986 and has attended several conventions over the years.
He has been an active breeder of tropical fish for over 35 years, at one time concentrating mainly on African. David is also involved in conservation and has always kept space in his tanks for several endangered species, ranging from Lake Victorian cichlids to livebearers and killifish.
