“I believe that learning and developing starts with the individual and builds from there.  Life in the Army has taught me so much about people and combined with the CRM skills used daily whilst flying, have given me transferable skills that can and do make such a difference in other organisations, that is why I work with Future Sales Factory and their clients.”

After graduating from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, David was commissioned as an Officer in the 1st Battalion, The Royal Anglian Regiment, where he held a variety of command and leadership posts in peacetime training and high-stress operational environments.

Turning to aviation, he was seconded to the Army Air Corps, where he flew helicopters and commanded a flight that included flying VIPs and members of the Royal Family, before assuming his final post as a staff officer for the whole of the Armed Forces Aircrew training.

Taking these skills with him to the Commercial Aviation environment, David soon became a Crew Resource Management Instructor for Pilots and Cabin Crew, and his upgrade to Captain followed soon after. Now in his second decade of flying and teaching, he shares this passion with industries and organisations outside of aviation. 

Aside from work and teaching, David lives in Surrey with his fiancée, their three children and can be found running on the North Downs.​
