His choreographic vision has been showcased across the United States, receiving accolades for its ingenuity, musicality, and emotional depth.

In addition, Regional Dance America has awarded him the "Habich-Corey Choreography Award" and the "Project Tier Award for Excellence in Choreography."

In 2022, David had the honor of creating "Our Story," a world premiere commissioned by Cincinnati Ballet for their inaugural Bold Moves Festival. This one-act work, created in partnership with Cincinnati’s Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center, serves as a living memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and a plea to audiences to root out hate within themselves and their communities. The Holocaust & Humanity Center honored David with their 2024 Upstander Award for the creation of this work and its community impact.

Since its inception in 2018, David has served as Program Director of Cincinnati Ballet's Collegiate Summer Intensive; a partnership between Cincinnati Ballet and the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music.
