Since 2005 Dave has worked as a freelance consultant, offering leadership and team coaching, event talks and safety coordination for TV and film, utilising experiences gained throughout his career. He has worked with Bruce Parry on the Tribe series and was also a member of the TV re-enactment of Captain Scott’s race to the pole in a programme titled “ Blizzard: Race to the Pole”. In 2006 Dave took a camera team on Everest as they filmed the British Services West Ridge Expedition, shown in the programme “Man versus Mountain” and in 2007 he has been working with Bear Grylls on the Channel 4/ Discovery Channel series “Born Survivor” and “Man Versus Wild”.

Dave spent 23 years as a British Commando, seeing operations in Northern Ireland, Kosovo/Bosnia and Afghanistan. He served in many specialist arms of the forces, becoming a renowned expert in mountain and arctic warfare and was also a physical training instructor in the Royal Marine Corps.

Having mountaineered globally Dave has also scaled one of the largest rock faces in the world and was part of the successful team that made the first British ascent of Kangchenjunga (3rd highest in the world), without supplementary oxygen.

On the 22nd of May 2003 Dave reached the summit of Mount Everest with a Sherpa via the North Face. The summit ‘push’ almost failed due to desperate prevailing conditions and Dave thought he would not survive the descent. The team supported both his and the sherpa’s return and also performed what is thought to be the highest ever mountain rescue. Dave subsequently received a military commendation and the BBC’s Outstanding Overseas Achievement Award.

“An inspirational and fascinating talk: it’s not only about reaching the summit of Everest but about how a small group of people overcame the odds and, as a high performing team, managed the mountain so that a successful ascent could be made. To top it off they then carried out the highest ever rescue”.

Johnny Walker Whiskies and Diagio.

“Dave comes across as a regular guy who achieved an amazing feat in seriously bad conditions. The link with life’s aspirations, business and high performing teams made us believe anything was possible”.

Norman Holmes, HR Director, Communisis.
