David is degree qualified from Lincoln College (B Com Ag Valuation/Farm Management) and has completed just over 2 decades in Rural Banking throughout New Zealand.

As a presenter, something he has done professionally since 1991, David’s style is both entertaining and thought provoking. His on going involvement with self development programmes dating back to 1987 provides David with a wide range of anecdotes to draw on that helps his audience act on what they experience.

In his most recent Corporate role (2007-11), Head of Coaching and Development for ASB, his overall responsibility was for the skill set and personal development needs of the Rural and Commercial division’s 200 plus staff.

From 2004 -2007 he held a Key Account role supporting ASB’s Rural Managers throughout the North Island, providing assistance to them for clients on a strategic basis, including governance issues. He was also involved with broader projects, including being chosen as the Bank’s representative at the NZ Opportunities Expo in London in March 2006 and to visit Uruguay in November 2006.

Prior to that he held various business development roles in both the Corporate world and private enterprise.

He takes an active interest in his children’s and school activities. He was previously a BOT rep for 6 years (and Chairperson) and is a current Parent Elected Member of two School Boards. David also assists with specific charities and enjoys water sports and tennis. He completed a Director's Course run by the NZ Institute of Directors in 2008.

David prides himself on helping people to take action to achieve their stated priorities in life.
