Michigan resident David Westerfield attended Wayne State University in Detroit majoring in art before transfering to North Park College in Chicago. There he earned a BA in Art with a concentration in drawing and painting and was given the Senior Art Award.

After graduating David began a career in graphic design and illustration which has stretched more than thirty years.
