My name is David Campbell. I was born in 1964 in Santa Rosa, California. I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area my entire life. I went to high school at Buchser High School which was consolidated with and changed its name to Santa Clara High during my senior year (1982), so I am a Santa Clara High graduate. I attended UC Berkeley during the 1982-1983 school year but went no further.

I currently live in San Francisco, California, in the Noe Valley neighborhood. A word processor by trade, most of my edits consist of spelling, punctuation and grammatical corrections (since that's what I do for a living), with occasional substantive contributions.

I am a member of the Peace and Freedom Party, the only socialist party on the ballot in California. I was also a member of the San Francisco Tenants Union.

I am a strong agnostic, a weak atheist, and a secular humanist - I don't believe in the supernatural (including deities), believe it is impossible by definition to prove anything one way or the other about the supernatural, and place my faith in humanity.

Brushes with greatness: Introduced Hugh Masekela on behalf of the Campaign Against Apartheid on the steps of Sproul Hall at UC Berkeley in 1986. Spoke on behalf of the Campaign Against Apartheid between opening act The Looters and headliners Ladysmith Black Mambazo at Zellerbach Auditorium at UC Berkeley in 1987. Bought a drink for Utah Phillips at The Dovre Club after one of his appearances at the Women's Building in San Francisco, the year before The Women's Building evicted The Dovre Club from its location in the corner of the building.
