David was trained as a cartographer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the 1980s. He has since realized that maps are a special case of distance education. At Penn State, David teaches both resident and distance versions of a general introduction to geographic information science. He also directs the George F. Deasy GeoGraphics Laboratory, an information design studio whose professional and student employees create educational software, World Wide Web sites, and print cartography for clients on campus and off. In 1999 David was honored with the Media Achievement Award of the Association of American Geographers.
