Dave debuted on this planet in the early 70’s and has been trying to figure out what the hell is going on ever since.
Raised around Sydney’s northern beaches Dave developed a healthy appetite for sport at an early age and a passion for writing not long after.
While his sporting career in the pool and surf didn’t eventuate to much more than some good times and the chance to get around a bit it helped him gain an insight into elite athletes and what makes them tick. Or tock as the case may be.
Then after almost a decade of travelling between the east coast of America and Sydney while working as lifeguard and bartender he decided to grow up and focus on a career in the sports media industry.
Since that fateful day he has been fortunate enough to attend some of the planet’s biggest sporting events and work with some of Australia’s brightest stars.
Dave runs his own sports PR company in Sydney and is married to a very understanding wife with whom he has a son.

Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise.
