David is a inspired performer, facilitator and creative provocateur!
Equally comfortable in corporate and community environments, he brings a fresh approach to the work of engaging people in creating a more sustainable future.

David’s career began in marketing Fast Moving Consumer Goods with large food organisations where he learnt the value of strategic communications and the power of coherent branding.

He then ventured out on his own to work in both the community and corporate sectors as a freelance facilitator, researcher and strategist.

Since 2000 David has worked on and off with place-making consultancy Village Well - assisting communities, Councils, developers and retailers to create vibrant and sustainable places. He has conducted various community consultations, township visioning sessions and mapping of sustainability strategies in Melbourne and Sydney.

As a facilitator, he creates an atmosphere of intellectual and emotional rigour that enables a deeper exploration of the issues while maintaining a tone of optimism and inspiration.

He also runs an online event calendar promoting local Melbourne organisations aligned to sustainability, personal growth and positive social change.

Concurrenly since 1995 David has been training in theatre improvisation with 'Theatre of the Ordinary' where he has fine tuned his comedic skills. He devised and performed a successful solo show ‘Happy Yoga’ at the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

David enjoys weaving together his various skill-sets to devise engaging characters to perform at conferences and other events. His aim is to use comedy, theatre and facilitation as a platform to engage people in accessible, fun and meaningful culture change.
