David was born 1947 to Edward and Dolores (Gilroy) Swosinski, the second of five children. David grew up in Mt. Morris Township graduating from Hamady High School, class of 1966. He was drafted to the US Army serving in Korea, discharged as a sergeant in 1973. David was a proud Lieutenant and retiree of the Genesee County Sheriff Dept serving in the marine division, the jail, and in traffic.

They built a house in Montrose Township and raised their children Matt and Becky there. To improve the education of his children, and the students of Montrose Community Schools, he ran for the Board of Education and was a proud member for 20 years serving as trustee and president.
