David was raised in Chicago and spent his high school years in Barrington. He earned a B.S. in chemical engineering at MIT, an MBA at the University of Chicago along with graduate degrees in mathematics and a Ph.D. in economics and finance. After college, he worked for the Standard Oil Company as a fuel chemist, as an economist for the state of Illinois, and then spent the majority of his career working as a college professor. David loved computers. He developed and utilized some of the first software to study the populations of then-endangered wolves and their migratory patterns in the northern Midwest in the 1960s. He was an inventor and pioneer in the use of computers for stock transactions, and he was issued the first patent for a computerized stock exchange. His volunteer work included membership in Kiwanis in Chatham, IL, and the private tutoring of mathematics to junior high and high school students. He was an advocate of lifelong learning. David asked that friends and family remember him by 1) re-dedicating themselves to lifelong learning and the pursuit of truth, 2) planting a tree to help make the earth a better place, and 3) making a donation to your favorite charity and sending a card to the Abraham Lincoln Unitarian Universalist Church to notify his family of your donation in lieu of flowers.
