Across the last decade Dave has worked as an English teacher in both inner-city London and rural Somerset, including teaching in an alternative provision and delivering the Duke of Edinburgh scheme to hundreds of participants. This has given him a real insight into the difficulties young people can face and provided him with effective strategies and a real passion for helping them to help themselves.
Living in the Brecon Beacons, he is a keen mountain biker, fell runner and hill walker – and he loves taking his own young children into the hills with him when possible! As well as exploring beautiful Wales, he has also travelled widely, including trekking in the Himalayas and cycling across parts of Europe.
