• Executive Producer and Host, David Gilmore
David and Pretzel guy

David in New York showing off the Murrow award to someone who cares.

David Gilmore is an ex-patriot Californian artist and entrepreneur living in the desert of Arizona where it's so dry that his eyes stick to his eyelids when he goes out giving the illusion of being wide-eyed and interested.
David worked in television news production for 7 years at a CBS affiliate in Florida and at HBO and the United Nations in New York. He was formerly the art director of Gnosis Magazine and taught electronic design at Media Alliance and the Center for Electronic Art in San Francisco. David's radio career went into hibernation at age of 16 when, on Shadow Day, he was unfortunately "saved" on-air by a Christian DJ at WSOR in Fort Myers, FL. He lives by the personal credo, "no pets, no sports, no rings." David's first short film was released in the spring of 2005 and addressed body obsession in the gay community. Contact David by email
