David Johnson grew up in Southern California and has lived here all is life (not including a 3-week stay in New Mexico that he doesn't really like to talk about). His first computer was a Commodore 64. He got his start doing graphic design in 1994 by making ANSI art for computer bulletin board services. After dropping out of the University of California at Riverside Creative Writing program, he moved to the "west-side" and started working as a Graphic Design intern for the now-defunct eToys.com. Over the next several years he wrote three screenplays, worked as a designer for a small web development firm, tested video games for THQ (go Power Rangers!), read meters for the Gas Company, and managed internet sales for a classic and sports car dealership in Marina Del Rey. In 2005 he tried starting his own t-shirt company. It lasted about 8 months. In late 2005 he started work at Oversee.net as a front-end developer, where he lasted 2 solid years. His last stint was Director of Web Development at BetaRecords.com, a social-music community.

Fav Quotes: "The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of the mountain or in the petals of the flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha... which is to demean oneself." - Robert M. Persig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
