David Lim is a talented Asian-American actor who was born and raised in San Ramon, California. He earned a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, San Diego, and initially pursued a career in finance as a loan officer. However, he soon discovered his true passion for acting and modeling, and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
David's big break came when he landed a role in the ABC thriller series Quantico, playing the character of Sebastian Chen, a CIA recruit. This role jumpstarted his acting career, and he has since appeared in numerous commercials for well-known brands such as Gillette, Bud Light, McDonald's, Dave & Buster's, and Apple.
In addition to his work in television and commercials, David is also a series regular on the CBS drama "S.W.A.T." alongside Shemar Moore. He plays the role of Victor Tan, a relatively new S.W.A.T. officer who made his name in the Hollywood Division before advancing to the heights of LAPD and Metro S.W.A.T.
Aside from his work in the entertainment industry, David has also developed a new jewelry line with his wife Marketa called Maya David. After a burglary robbed them of their most prized possessions of sentimental value, the duo embarked on a journey of reinvention and transformation, putting their energy into creating their own jewelry. Nearly every piece is hand-made by David and Marketa, ensuring the highest level of quality and attention to detail. They use semi-precious gemstones, 925 sterling silver, and 14k solid gold.
David and Marketa are deeply committed to giving back, and have seamlessly integrated this value into their work with Maya David. They partner with One Tree Planted, an organization dedicated to global reforestation, and are actively contributing to the restoration of forests worldwide. To underscore this commitment, David donated his winnings from a charity corn hole tournament to support reforestation projects.
In his free time, David enjoys playing basketball, photography, traveling, and spending time in the gym. He is passionate about nutrition and health, and stays active through kickboxing, hiking, lifting weights, and yoga. He also has a strong love for corn hole, recently winning the celebrity tournament at The Throwdown Cornhole Festival. Additionally, he has a docuseries on corn hole currently in development.
