Dave has multiple listings in the Guinness Book of records & has presented his Anti Bullying presentation to over 1 million people. This won a prestigious Oyster Award from the Home Secretary.

His incredible story really began when as a young lad he was small in body build and found himself being picked on and bullied by other lads in his school years. To over come this he decided to bulk up his body weight and develop his mental strength to be able manage the situations he found himself in. He started to work hard on weight training and gym fitness workouts and placed a high degree on his nutritional and calorific intake in his diet. He learnt to channel his mind in the gym to overcome the barriers and to stretch himself further than even he could imagine he could do. Through understanding the 'Empowerment Mindset' he went onto become the World Strength Athlete he is today. 

Little did he realise where this might lead to one day and how the first decision he made to go to his local gymnasium would shape his physical and mental approach that would take him  on journey that no one could have predicted.  The life map that has taken in world record strength feats that few if any could ever match and his career as a World Strength Athlete is only matched by his ability as a Community Engagement Champion & Ambassador.
