Earlier this year, his team in the 2012 Variety Bash raised more than $39,000 for Variety, the children's charity, which went towards a Liberty Swing in Emu Park.

David is a member of the Rotary Club of Yeppoon, sits on the Board of the Keppel Bay Sailing Club and was recently sworn in as a JP Qualified.

He still finds time to support the Idiom 23 Literary Magazine and is an active member and announcer of Radio Nag 91.3FM community radio.

David has been based at the Bookshop on Rockhampton Campus since 1987 and recently accepted an award for 25 years of service with CQUniversity. He also served as a scout master for 14 years.
