David Benham attended Liberty University as a Baseball Major. After graduating, he played for several minor league teams. In 2002, he was drafted to play for the St. Louis Cardinals. He later quit playing baseball, and went off with his brother to start Real Estate. They had no success until a bank contacted to work on a foreclosed home. After fixing the home the bank was impressed and gave them many more jobs. Later, he co-founded BENHAM Real Estate Group. He has appeared in War Room and Couragous.

On April 18th 2014, HGTV announced it was planning on having a home improvement show called "Flip It Forward" hosted by the Benham Brothers premiere in October 2014. On May 6th 2014, the left-leaning organization Right Wing Watch released a post condemning HGTV's decision to have the brothers host the show because of their stance on a range of social issues. The following day, HGTV announced via a tweet that it would not "move forward with the Benham Brothers' series, thereby cancelling the production. Faith-based organizations such as GlobalFlare.com stated the cancellation came out as a result of a "smear campaign", while the brothers have stated they blame a "gay agenda" for the network's decision.
