He was also the Chief Commissioner for the Liberation of the Lutheran World from 1949 to 1956, so as a child, David often flew with his parents from the United States to Germany and back.

After graduating from high school, David attended the Augustana College (now the University of Augustana), located in Mexico City, and then at the University of Minnesota. In his youth, Soul was actively involved in baseball and even signed a contract with the Chicago White Sox club. While in Mexico, Soul became interested in music, classmates taught him to play the guitar, and he decided to give up sports and become a musician. After graduating from his studies, David returned to the United States and performed as a musician in clubs in Minneapolis.

From 1977 to 1990, Soul tried himself as a director, but this work did not inspire him: in 13 years, he directed only nine episodes of six TV series. In the mid-1990s, Soul bought a house in London. In Britain, he played in theaters, actively participated in the 1997 election campaign in support of his friend Martin Bell, who eventually became a deputy from Tatton (1997-2001).
