David’s journey in audio production began after being inspired by one of the first high school Electronic Music Programs in the United States, where he discovered synthesizers, sound waves, and tape splicing. This led him to earn a degree in Recording Arts from Full Sail University.

David’s career includes 18 years at the National Geographic Society, where he focused on audiovisual and information technology, producing and engineering live events at the Grosvenor Auditorium. He also has eight years of experience in broadcasting, having served as the Director of Development and Chief Operating Officer at a community radio station. Additionally, David contributed to over 600 concerts and events through a concert promotion and production company in Washington, D.C.

Currently, David serves as the Director of Production and Facilities Management at a nonprofit arts and science center, where he applies his skills and explores bioacoustics. Cassidy has been associated with WSDG since 2009 and is a proud member of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), the National Geographic Society, and the Acoustical Society of America.
