David was a member of the first graduating class of Walsh College, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He continued his education at Loyola University, earning a master’s degree in Biology. After completing his graduate studies, David returned to North Canton and to his alma mater, Walsh College, where he taught biological sciences. Following his teaching career, he went on to build a distinguished career in the medical device industry, specializing in plastic surgery devices, eventually becoming the owner and operator of Monomed Medical Device Company.
