David Hefner – Bio
It was on the 30th of August 1955 that David Hefner was born to Hugh Hefner and his first wife named Mildred Williams. His birth took place in Palo Alto, California in the United States. David is the second child and the oldest son born to his parents; he has three other siblings, an older sister named Christie Ann Hefner and two younger half-brothers – Marston Glenn and Cooper Bradford from his father’s subsequent relationships.
Growing up, David spent his early life in California along with his sister and other siblings. His parents separated when he was just four years old, leaving him and his siblings to be raised solely by their grandparents – Glenn Lucius Hefner and Grace Caroline. Notably, their parent’s divorce, however, made David’s childhood full of bitter-sweet experiences. While he got all he needed at the time, he still lacked parental care and affection.
He is highly educated and probably went to one of the best schools in the United States; however, there is a dearth of information regarding his educational background. However, we are able to gather that he is an alumnus of the University of California, Santa Cruz where he acquired a degree in film and digital media.

He has established himself as a computer analyst and he is currently based in Northern California. According to reports, he also founded his own computer consulting firm where he currently serves as the chief consultant.
