DAVID L. ROWELL, a South Carolina native grew up believing that his calling was in basketball, the sport he loved more than anything else; however, after an internship opportunity, DJ, as he is affectionately known, caught a glimpse of artistry. This is where David tapped into acting and his charismatic personality instantly catapulted him into a new arena. David has since put forth all the necessary efforts to perfect his craft by staying consistent with training and being in front of any camera that allows him to display his platforms. He has quickly become acclimated to life on the scene as well as behind the scene. David’s captivating personality helped him land his first, big role in the feature film “Christmas in Carolina,” where he personifies the character “Wesley Saxon.” David, who is the founder of The DJ Rowell Foundation, is pursuing his acting career full time and is extremely humbled for the opportunities he’s had as well as those yet to come.
