David Quiles was born on October 15, 1977, to Miguel Quiles and Aida Robles in Manhattan, NY.

David grew up in Coney Island, Brooklyn where he enjoyed being a boy scout and practicing jiu jitsu.  He attended Lincoln High School before attending Kingsborough Community College where he earned an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration in 1998 and met his future wife, Jasmine Wimberly.  David then attended Baruch College where he earned his Bachelor’s of Business Administration (B.B.A) in Accounting in 2001.

In 2002, David & Jasmine welcomed their daughter Jade Amaris Quiles into the world.

David, a beloved soul with an infectious smile, brought light, laughter, and harmony to the lives of all who knew him. His journey through life was marked by an extraordinary love for connection, exploration, and the universal language of music.  Music was David ’s heartbeat, a constant companion that filled his days with rhythm and melody. Friends and strangers alike were drawn to his warmth and love of storytelling. A passionate traveler, David embraced the world with open arms and a curious spirit. From the bustling streets of India to the tranquil landscapes of the South of France, he reveled in the beauty of different cultures, foods, and traditions. In his free time, David could be found on the pitch playing soccer, watching Premier League Soccer (Go Liverpool!!), spending hours researching new technology, and spending time with his two beautiful children!
