David is a tax consultant who uprooted his practice from Philadelphia to the New York countryside in 1998 with his wife Morgan and his sheepdog Farfel. In June, 2001 Morgan passed away after a long illness. He dedicates these writings to her, and to his friend Pamela, who has restored life to his soul with her warmth and friendship. Pam and David now share a house in Ocean Gate, New Jersey. Less than a half-mile from the water, they married in August 2007 and are building a new life.
