David Bowles in his twenty-eight years has worked with computers since the age of four and has been involved with computers in support, administration, development, and gaming. Although he wasn't very fond of programming and developing software early in his college career, the fact that he was programming in BASIC on his VIC-20 at five along with some help from the BYTE magazine, foreshadowed his life to come in software development. Although he grew up in the small towns of Albany and Moultrie in southern Georgia, he was blessed to have access to computers through his father's employers and was ultimately able to afford them later in life.

David got involved with Dynamics AX during his employment with NAPA Rayloc, shortly after coming on board. The executive suite decided to migrate from a legacy COBOL-based accounting system to Dynamics AX. David was presented with a Virtual PC image of the software and given a couple of weeks to get familiar with it. After three months of working and developing the software on a trial basis, the implementation process began. After a twelve month implementation period, during which he was the only a full-time developer on the project, many long days and nights of coding, a wedding, and a couple of 48-hour plus days, Rayloc was fully implemented with AX. During the implementation and learning process, David was awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award in Dynamics AX. The award was mainly based on his contributions to the user community in forums, his blog, and feedback to Microsoft Support on his research on the newly added Application Integration Framework in version 4.0. Prior to NAPA Rayloc, David was employed in technical and programming positions with AOL, SurfSouth, CallTech Communications, and Kodak.

Currently David is married to his quintessential bride, Courtney, and they reside in western suburban Atlanta, Georgia. Besides his job, he attends the Mercer University in Atlanta, to complete his bachelors' of science in Business Administration. When he's not at work or school, he likes to spend his free time in a round of golf, tennis, paintball, and occasionally an XBox game.
