David Adam Flannery was born in San Jose, CA to David L. Flannery and Lynda Flannery. After moving to Boise, ID at a young age, David needed to pursue his dreams of being an actor. At the age of 19 he dropped out of school, packed up his bags and moved to Los Angeles to find the inspiration he so desired.

Like most young actors who move to Los Angeles, David had no money and didn't know where to start. He slept on couches, and took the bus to and from acting classes and auditions. David attributes this to the success he has today and is eternally grateful for the lessons he learned in those formative years.

David acts to experience all walks of life, and to show everyone that the opportunity to live is everywhere. If one movie can make a child see the logic of following their dreams; then the performer has achieved his justice.

David is constantly inspired by the greats such as Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
