He had a keen eye for seeing the beauty of the world around and took a delight in sharing the stories of his travels through his photography.

David has also taught as a professor at the American University of Armenia for several years inspiring and motivating students to start careers in IT by sharing his knowledge and vast experience in the IT sector.
