David Damico

David Damico (1960-) credits his high school English teacher Sue Belmont for his love of reading and writing. "I came late to the game" says Damico. "I was not a big reader as a kid and, while I won a writing contest in 7th grade, I had no notion of what story I could tell as a writer." Ms. Belmont was Damico's first real reader. "I experienced for the first time the thrill of someone's reading a story and telling me they liked it. It was intoxicating for a young teenager like me." Damico lives is Oceanside California with his wife Kellie, chocolate standard poodle Sadie and rescue toy white poodle/mix Fergie. He works in Chula Vista, California as the Director of Information and Educational Technology Sweetwater Union High School District. He is working on several projects including introducing his first illustrated children's book (written by John DaVirro) titled "What the I's Don't See" David is also a fine artist.
