'Apple is so much more than just a company to me. It is a community and an ecosystem that touches so many aspects of my life. Every time Tim Cook steps out on stage to unveil a new product feels like Christmas morning.'

David's passion for Apple started when he was just a teenager, writing letters to Steve Jobs. 'I was inspired by the story of when Steve Jobs was in high school and called Bill Hewlett asking for spare electronic components,' he said. 'Not only was he given the parts, but also an internship at Hewlett-Packard. I was hopeful that I could gain a similar opportunity. Unfortunately, the replies from Steve's PA were lost well over a decade ago. I do still have a few pieces of him, in a sense though.'

'My house matches the six-color Apple logo which highlighted the graphics capabilities of the Apple II in 1977,' he continued.

Although proud of his Apple superfan title, David admits it's difficult to find a partner who appreciates his passion. 'I have a seven-year-old daughter named Elizabeth (or Lisa for short) - Steve Jobs' daughter's name and the name of the first computer Apple released with a graphical user interface,' he said.

'But I'm currently single - it's hard finding a partner who is okay with coming in second to Apple,' he said. David was awarded a new Series 9 watch after scoring all the answers correctly in the fastest time as part of an Apple-themed contest. 'You'd think a person who already owns over 100 different Apple products couldn't possibly be excited to get another one, but I always am,' he added. 'Not only as something practical that I will get use out of but also for what it symbolizes. It will be an honor to wear it, and I'll surely brag about it to anyone I can get to listen.
