BiographyHistory

'David was born in Johannesburg South Africa in 1952 and all his forebears originated in Lithuania. He spent most of his childhood, 1954-1969, in Arcadia (The South African Jewish Orphanage) from age three until 17, when he finished school. He served in the South African Defence Force and did Articles and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1976.

'In 1979 he married and has two daughters Sarah and Esther. At the age of 28, in 1981, he left Johannesburg and has lived in Perth, Western Australia, ever since.'
