D.A. WHITE
Born in 1986 and is the youngest of three siblings. His lifelong love of all things fantasy and sci-fi was inherited from his older brother, Robert. Robert is responsible for exposing David to the genres, series, and games that would not only shape his personality, but teach him that no one is defined by where they start in life. You simply need to complete the hard quests, gain experience, and level up. Looking for a life beyond homelessness and hunger at fifteen, David walked into The Bill Wilson Center in Santa Clara, California. After years of legal proceedings, counseling, and foster homes, there was light at the end of the tunnel. David found his forever family, bound by love and choice.
David Graduated from California State University, Fresno with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Academic Honors. After graduating, David returned to Santa Clara to begin working as a Youth Counselor at the Bill Wilson Center, the very shelter he stayed in during his earlier years. David spent the next few years working with a variety of organizations focused on helping youth become the best version of themselves before entering adulthood.
David eventually got married to his beautiful wife, and started a family of his own. His recent years have been spent focusing on raising his princess. When not striving to become the best father this world has ever seen, he enjoys reliving and exploring the classic genres and stories his late brother Robert exposed him to such as, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Highlander, Dungeons and Dragons, Stargate SG-1, Magic the Gather, and many more.
