Для 15тилетнего Дэвида первые шаги к славе и богатству начались, когда ему было всего 9 лет, тогда родители купили ему первый компьютер. Поскольку ему всегда хорошо давалась математика,он довольно быстро научился составлять программы для компьютера и это его очень заинтересовало. Ему нужно было что-нибудь побольше и поновее, поэтому ему долго пришлось копить деньги, чтобы купить АМСТРАД. Однако только год назад он решил серьезно заняться компьютерами. Он пошел в вечернюю школу, чтобы научиться писать деловые программы, а также стал учиться заочно в колледже.

Он познакомился с продавцами комьютеров и произвел на них такое сильное впечатление, что те снабдили его компьютерами и программным обеспечением на сумму более 3,000 долларов. В ответ на это он должен был присылать им каждый месяц отчет о том, что сделано и каковы его планы. Он помогал компаниям, советуя, какие компьютеры им следует покупать, и составляя для них специальные программы. Ему удавалось работать быстрее, чем взрослым специалистам. Однажды он пришел в компанию, где профессиональный программист уже отработал шесть месяцев, но так и не смог найти, в чем проблема. Дэвид нашел и решил проблему за пять дней. Будучи таким высококлассным специалистом, подросток и сумел заработать так много денег за довольно короткий период. На вырученные деньги он купил новейшее оборудование и положил в банк 10,000 долларов. Сейчас он считается одним из лучших экспертов по налаживанию компьютерного оборудования.
