David Anthony Buttery (Born September 9th, 1986) is an American actor,
born and raised in Ames, IA. He is the only male child of Claudia Lemon
and Richard Buttery, and he is the oldest sibling to sisters Alex
Buttery and Rachel Buttery. David was a very quiet and shy child
growing up, and he spent a lot of his time drawing, writing or studying
martial arts. He currently possesses a 1st degree Black Belt in Tai
Kwon Do, and an Intermediate Ranking in Iaijutsu and Aikijujutsu. He is
also versed in Pilipino Arnes and Russian Systema. He initially
attended Ames High School, but he dropped out half way through his
senior year. In 2005, he finished his high school education at Denison
Job Corps Center in Denison, IA in 2006 where he also did trade studies
for welding. In 2008, David got married and lived in Colorado Springs,
CO and then in Kearney, NE in 2010, but then he divorced in 2011 and
moved to Ankeny, IA and then later that year to Tucson, AZ. He worked
odd jobs to support himself during that time, including plumbing,
retail cashier, caricature drawing, and cooking, but he often times did
food delivery as a means for income. It was the support and
encouragement of his coworkers and customers, as well as his family,
that pushed him to pursue acting, and in 2013 he got a chance to break
into the experience by acting in a couple student short films for Pima
Community College. He strives to better himself as an actor. David
currently resides in Ankeny, IA.
