David is a retired chemical engineer living with his wife of 50 years in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma USA. He became interested in knots and braiding as a result of his interest in leather craft. He applied to join the IGKT in the fall of 2011 (KM 113, p22). His current projects include braiding leather whips, leather appliqué braids, knotted bell pulls and lanyards and a macramé belt (see his post on IGKT Facebook page).
