Born in Saratoga Springs, New York, Cummings' background is unusual for a porn actor: he has both a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and a Masters Degree in Public Administration; in addition, he spent over 25 years as an officer in the United States Army, retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was married for 22 years and has two children and four grandchildren.[3]
He was almost 55 years old before he launched his acting career with The Devil is Miss Jones 5: The Inferno and was regarded as a major adult porn star appearing in hundreds adult films and a reputation for sexual stamina.[2] Cummings claims that he only uses viagra when doing back-to-back sex scenes or when working with very demanding directors.[3] He was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame in 2007 and the XRCO Hall of Fame in 2011.[4][5]

Cummings died in his sleep on October 5, 2019 at age 79 and had been battling Alzheimer's in recent years.[6] Because of his record of armed service, Dave was laid to rest at Miramar National Cemetery in San Diego, CA.[7]
