David Theobold grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island, and studied systems engineering at Northeastern University before spending a decade as a risk analyst for a Boston-based insurer. He later earned an MFA from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he taught writing and researched how small failures ripple through complex systems. His essays and short fiction have appeared in The Common, Boulevard, and Yankee Magazine. A recipient of a 2021 Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship in Fiction, he lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, with his partner and a retired greyhound. When not writing, he restores vintage bicycles and volunteers with the Connecticut River Conservancy.
