David Demar

• David has been fascinated with PC hardware since his family brought home an IBM PC jr in the 1980s, leading him to become an avid custom PC builder for decades.
• David's lifelong passion for storytelling led to him publishing his first full-length novel, "Certified Gold: On the Air," in 2023.
• David currently spends too much on what seems like an ever-growing collection of digital streaming services. He says it's to ensure his kid has access to all their favorite movies and TV shows, but nobody believes him.
