S. David Acuff

 S. David Acuff grew up the son of an Air Force Colonel and lived all over the United States. Being the new kid every year in school taught him a certain objectivity; to see through local prejudices, politics and predilections. It gave him the best vantage point to view all of these different lives and delicious stories and how they

 intersected and collided with often unexpected results.

Since 2014, Acuff has lived in Los Angeles, CA. He was a Producer-Editor for Walt Disney for seven years. And he enjoys performing voiceover work for Audible book projects as well as animated characters like the Beaver in 2022's "Family Camp" theatrical release.

He has three amazing daughters—Caitlyn, Alexis and Raegan. And his life-motto is very simply, “What doesn’t kill you makes you funnier!” Keep tabs on his book, film, and TV shenanigans at: davidacuff.com
