Early life
Born in rural Connecticut, at the age of twelve Considine believes he had a terrifying supernatural experience which altered the course of his life. A short time later, he decided to dedicate his life to investigating the supernatural, focusing on ways to assist individuals and families believed to be victimized by entities from the supernatural realm. After two active tours of duty with the US Armed Forces, he founded Phantasm Psychic Research in 1994, dividing his time between his own organization and being the assistant to Catholic exorcist + O.P Bishop Robert McKenna and has been working in the field for 27 years.

Work
Trained directly by Demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, Considine has worked closely through the years with many other noted figures in the fields of paranormal research, religious demonology, exorcism and the occult. These include the aforementioned Ed Warren, religious demonologist and director and founder of the New England Society of Psychic Research; Fr. Malachi Martin, author of Hostage to the Devil; Fr. James Lebar of the New York Archdiocese; and Fr. Rama Coomaraswamy, M.D., assistant director of the Albert Einstein institute of Psychiatry.
According to his official profile on College Power Performers, a professional college speaker booking agency, Considine said this about his personal views and beliefs:
Dave's priorities differ greatly than those who investigate strictly with scientific interests. His goal is the spiritual well being of the individual or family, getting them through these life-altering events and back on the path away from the preternatural realms and he firmly believes that the individual or family's strength and faith in God can bring an end to most hauntings. He believes that there is more than just a patch of grass and a marker over our heads when we die, and that when we die it is not an end, but a new beginning.
Considine has also said,
As a religious demonologist, I often see people at rock bottom - terrified, desperate... The most rewarding part of my job is helping them put their lives back together. I see the trauma they go through, and I help them to fight back, using their faith. I hate seeing people victimized by the demonic, but it's incredibly gratifying to watch them come back, more faithful and stronger than they've ever been before.
Considine attributes his success in his field to his strong faith in God and the support of his family and investigative team members.
