After playing in bands throughout middle and high school, David followed a girl to a college in Western Pennsylvania where he studied marketing management and advertising, but boredom and depression set in due to being at a small school in a freezing place and he decided to leave after three semesters. Back home in Vienna, his cousin Will suggested starting their own band in November 2004. After a few members came and went, David and Will finalized My Favorite Highway’s line-up with the addition of Pat and Bobby. “Pat has a great ear and brings so much to a song,” David says. “He can play so many different styles on the guitar, plus he can play any instrument so he’s a real asset to the band. Bobby is an excellent drummer, he’s super-focused, extremely consistent, and has a great pocket. Both these guys take what we do to a whole new level.”

Overall, David stresses the spirit of friendship and camaraderie in My Favorite Highway, something that is strongly reflected on How To Call A Bluff. “The album really captures all of our personalities,” he says. “It’s a fun record because we have a great time when we’re together. We’re like a band of brothers. It definitely sums up our beliefs and what we want out of life. The record is positive and uplifting and that's who we are as people.”
