2009-2010 UNK Undergraduate Research Fellow

- Post-Graduation Activities and Current Status -

David graduated from UNK with B.Sc. degrees in Mathematics and Physics. He then co-founded Black Brick Software. He continued to run the company and seems to wear various hats there including software development, data management, and other assorted tasks. He, his wife Andrea, and their two kids (Eva and Norah) initially lived for quite a few years in Los Angeles.

In a 2024 update, David told me that they moved back the great plains (Kansas). At the time of that email (October 2024) they were still getting settled post-move. He informed me that he's still "floating aroun doing contract software work".
