David F.M. Vaughn is a Story Editor on a kids' TV series "Tab Time." He and his husband reside in NYC and have two kids via surrogacy.

Growing up as a chubby, gay figure skater in rural Florida, he early on developed a fondness for underdogs, a twisted sense of humor, and a love of storytelling -- all of which he carries with him today. These served him well in his early career as an actor working on Broadway and national tours (he was in the original Broadway company of Shrek the musical, filmed for Netflix), but more importantly, led him to his real passions of directing and writing. He's tap danced with Tommy Tune, belted with Sutton Foster, warbled with Sheena Easton, and Shuffled Off to Buffalo with Gregory Hines. David is drawn to stories of hopeful and optimistic people in depressed areas (see: Florida), and often draws inspiration from his years as the closeted gay kid with "pizzazz" growing up deep in the redneck South.

Like all true gypsies, David has also spent his life eager to soak up new experiences, from living in the Czech Republic to training as a Scuba divemaster, to working as a professional poker player.

His parents used to work at the White House and the Pentagon. David has a podcast called "Gaytriarchs" which is a gay dad's NSFW comedy podcast.
