David Christensen has insatiable curiosity…and it hasn’t killed him yet. His lifelong interests include theater, the outdoors, audio and video production and music. These interests have been part of his life in some form forever.
When David was a kid, his father, who had a recording studio, brought home a tape recorder. David had a new toy and he hasn’t stopped playing since.
