Upon graduating from Morris Catholic High School, David entered the prestigious Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, pursuing a degree in Pre-Law. Approaching his sophomore year, David decided to primarily focus on the craft emerging from within and change his major from Pre-law to Drama. Dr. Jefferson’s real business education would come from meeting the honorable Percy Sutton, Chairman Emeritus of Inner City Broadcasting, who became his mentor. He provided an internship for David at the legendary 107.5 WBLS in New York, N.Y., where David would hone his skills in radio production and work toward becoming an air talent. Working with radio legends Jeff Fox, Sergio Dean, Hal Jackson, and Wendy Williams. He worked “Showtime at the Apollo” as a talent coordinator. David's extraordinary energy and commitment to learning would be beneficial when he could work in the broadcasting and production business behind the scenes.
Dr. Jefferson’s career continues on the road of tireless and indomitable creativity. He has built a foundation to inspire, create and share his experiences in the entertainment industry. David's ability to continue to perform in motion pictures and produce events and productions will continue to impress and secure a place in the heart of his fans and society.
