Since August 1990 David has worked at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon as a faculty member with the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station and the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. He works closely with, and is partially supported by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).

David does research on the dynamics of fishery systems, particularly the responses of fishermen to changing conditions within the fisheries. He also conducts groundfish stock assessments on behalf of ODFW and is involved in the development and evaluation of methods for fish stock assessment. He has teaching responsibilities for upper division courses in population dynamics (FW 431/531) and marine fisheries (FW 465/565).

During 1997-98 David was a member of the National Research Council's Committee to Review Individual Fishing Quotas. From 1993 to 1998 he was a member at large of the Scientific and Statistical Committee of the Pacific Fishery Management Council. From 1993 to 1997 he served as an Associate Editor for the North American Journal of Fisheries Management.

David has a PhD from the University of London (thesis entitled Testing for Density-Dependence in Southern Fin Whales), a Master of Science in Fisheries from the University of Washington (thesis entitled Variance Estimators for Virtual Population Analysis), and a Bachelor of Arts in Human Biology from Stanford University. He lives in Newport with his wife and two children.
