BIOGRAPHY

David is a three time Emmy nominated director with over 30 years' experience in feature animated films, TV animation and short films as director, art director, writer and producer. He has also created and directed two original children's TV series. He began his career on An American Tail at Sullivan Bluth studios, where he was fortunate enough to be trained by some of the top industry professionals. In 1990, David moved to Los Angeles where he worked on numerous features and in 1992 joined Walt Disney Feature Animation contributing his talents to award winning films such as the The Lion King, Pocahontas, Hunchback and Hercules. On Tarzan he held the position of 'Supervising Digital Background Artist' where he was a key member in the development of a new 3D Painting system called DEEP CANVAS.

In 2000 he returned to Ireland to create and direct the TV series The Island of Inis Cool. The series used CGI characters combined with miniature sets to give it the look and feel of clay-animation. Grabby-Bag, a CGI preschool series for RTE, was his second series, which he created, directed and co-produced with Brown Bag Films. He then went on to direct a new CGI series of Noddy in Toyland, and the pilot episode of Doc Mc Stuffins for Disney Junior.

His recent projects include directing two seasons of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit, a Brown Bag Films production for Nick Junior which went on to win six EMMY awards and a further seven nominations including two for best Director in an animated series and in 2016 a BAFTA nomination for best international series . David is currently Directing season two of the Annie nominated CGI series for Amazon Studio's called The Stinky and Dirty show .

He was invited to be a Member of ' The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences' in 1999 and has served on numerous committees to select the 'Animated shorts, live action shorts' and 'Animated features" for the Academy awards shortlist. He is also a Member BAFTA and ASIFA Hollywood.
