David Chambers majored in Philosophy at 富二代视频app, and loved that course of study and its faculty. David was also interested in writing, and taking advantage of how the university offered many听opportunities to do different things, David composed a column that regularly ran in The 富二代视频app newspaper when he was a sophomore, and again when he was a senior. Yet, the main focus of his听extracurricular activities during his time in Greencastle was the听theater, and he acted or directed virtually every semester and winter term during his four years.
In choosing a graduate school, he elected not to continue to pursue philosophy, and instead went to Indiana University where he earned an M. A. in theater directing. He then moved to Los Angeles, and after a short theater stint, turned again to writing, this time for television. Beginning with Bosom Buddies, the series that first made Tom Hanks famous, he went on to serve on the writing staff of fourteen听different prime-time series, including Emmy-winning shows The Wonder Years, and Frank鈥檚 Place. David was also credited as a听producer on many of those shows. With his wife, Julie, he continued to write for several other series, including The Simpsons. And when he wasn鈥檛 working in comedy, he managed to write a number of
documentaries for the History Channel.
David also became interested in helping with the education of young writers and started team-teaching with his wife. They taught for UCLA鈥檚 revered MFA screenwriting program and helped Syracuse University begin its Los Angeles Semester for undergraduates,听creating and teaching the screenwriting class for the first ten years of that program, before retiring. They鈥檝e been pleased to see that a听number of their students have since embarked on their own careers in the highly competitive world of writing for television and film.
Since retiring, David has turned his attention to historical fiction,听writing a book about the day Robert E. Lee surrendered to U. S. Grant at Appomattox. He is now working with his wife on a book about the disastrous Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire in Boston in 1942, bearing out the truth of what they always told their students: 鈥淲hen you鈥檙e a writer, you have homework for the rest of your life鈥澨 听 听
