A decorated scholar, Reddish graduated with a degree in Film from the University of Central Florida. Always known for his brash, outspoken manner and eccentric behavior, David Reddish has won awards for his political activism as well as pop culture acclaim for his fashion design work, his style ranging from grunge rock to Cyberpunk chic. Working on occasion as a model and go-go dancer gained Reddish notoriety as a Los Angeles socialite, his circle of friends ranging from poverty row to the Hollywood A-List—his persona, like his written works, always versatile and original. He resides in Los Angeles.
