 David served his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in Washington, DC from September 1994 - September 1996. |
David was a special missionary to the Vietnamese speaking population. During his two-year mission in Washington D.C., David kept a daily journal. He often wrote in his journal in Vietnamese to sharpen his skills in that language. |

David headed to Branson, Missouri, in September of 1998, where he became the drummer for the "Jay Osmond Band" at the Osmond Family Theater. It wasn't long before the band was re-named the "David Osmond Band," and David found his role increasing. His role involved that of travel coordinator, production manager, manager of financial accounts, band leader, drummer, and singer! |

| David met his beautiful wife, Michelle Cope on December 23, 1998. They were married April 2, 1999, at the Mt. Timpanogus Temple in American Fork, Utah. Michelle is one of 13 children, and is a twin! She grew up in Texas, but her family moved to Utah in 1989. David and Michelle knew of each other prior to actually meeting. David played in a band with Michelle's brother, Nathan, and her younger sister and brother were students of David's. Michelle was working at a Macaroni Grill Restaurant, and David went there one day for lunch. They spent that lunch "shooting looks" at each other. The next time David saw her at work, she was wearing a tie with drums on it. It was obvious they were both quite smitten! David and Michelle's first child was born November 5, 2001, and their second daughter was born January 14, 2004. |
 June 2001, David began to step out from behind the drums, to join his uncles center stage for a little of that famous Osmond harmony. |
In addition, David took over the drum solo on the tour, during Osmond hit "Hold Her Tight." David was the first drum student of famed drummer (and David's uncle), Jay Osmond. David's fabulous drum solo fast became a highlight in the show! |

David did an incredible job as Production & Road Manager for The Osmond Brothers, and the "Back On The Road Again" Tour. He was also the Executive Producer on the brothers' "Back On The Road Again" Live CD. In August 2002, David's career took a different path, a path which took him back to college with the completion of his degree in August 2003. David now has an exciting career in advertising, and is enjoying family life in Utah with his wife, Michelle, and their two daughters. |
