David Conner
David L. Conner Jr. (born February 26, 1978) is an American writer. He was born in Enterprise, Alabama, the son of an Army officer and an English teacher. He currently resides in Burbank, California with his wife, Ursula Lovemore, and sons Finn and Samuel.

Personal Life
David spent the first five years of his life growing up in the tropics of Oahu, Hawaii, as his father was stationed at Schofield Barracks. He went on to live in eight other states before earning his degree in drama from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and his BA in Journalism from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The years spent living with his family in Wildwood, Missouri was particularly formative, calling the woods around his home "my unofficial birthplace." It wasn't until he was a teenager that David discovered a wealth of dormant talents, including the ability to act, draw and paint portraits, sing, play musical instruments, and write.

David's earliest writings centered around poetry, particularly in structured forms such as sonnets. His creative writing has since branched out to include such forms as stage plays, screenplays and short stories, none of which he endeavors to publish. "The cash value of passion is $0. I do it because I love it."

While attending acting school in New York, David met his wife-to-be, Ursula, who hails from Harare, Zimbabwe. Since their marriage in 2003, David has become a frequent visitor to southern Africa. Their first son, Finn, was born in 2010; Samuel was born in 2012.

Career
David's professional writing career focuses on business writing, including web content, copywriting, PR and social media.
