Biography/History:

Moore David: David Michael Moore has been a lifelong maker. Starting at an early age taking apart his parents' alarm clocks, he has always been curious about how things work, and how they are put together. This drive was cemented in the seventh grade when he had a wood and metal shop. A developer and designer by trade, David has been working with software for years. The current explosion of making rekindled his love of the physical act of making. He is often found in his workshop or in the basement working with wood, metal, plaster, plastic, and electronics, or musing about the act of making on http: //vandermore. com. He hopes to pass on his desire for making to his two daughters, so that their making spirit isn't overwhelmed by the consumer side of life.
