About the Author

Born in 1935 in Albany, NY, to a barber and housewife who immigrated from Russia and Austria soon after World War I, David left high school early to help support his family. He became interested in physical fitness and taught himself acrobatics in the 1950s and early 1960s. He moved to California in 1965 at the urging of his older brother, Harvey, to develop his acrobatic career. Married three times, divorced twice, David performed acrobatic balancing and plate-spinning acts with many circuses and solo shows, including a tour of the western hemisphere with the Harlem Globetrotters in 1976-1977. Retiring from acrobatics after forty years of performing and traveling extensively, David re-invented himself as a stand-up comic, which he continues as he turns eighty.
