David Kent Treadwell was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in September 1942. Treadwell had an interest in genealogy and researched the early immigration patterns of his family. His ancestry chart reveals that some of his relatives were born in England in the early 1600s and moved to Windsor, Connecticut in 1640.

Treadwell later moved to San José, California and was a supervisor with the National Semiconductor Corporation.
