Here is a brief taste of David’s personality:
What is usually playing in your headphones?
My playlist is all over the map! When I’m at home, it’s Luke Kelly, The Pogues, The Dubliners…anything Irish. When I’m working, it’ll be any kind of LoFi mix. Outside of that, anything goes, from salsa, vallenato, and reggaeton to a bit of rock.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I had big dreams… of becoming a binman. Watching that massive truck roll in with a crew ready to hop off, it felt like a real-life Transformers movie. Maybe that’s what sold it for me!
What are you happiest doing, when you are not working?
Anything that gets me outdoors. Hiking, running, playing football, watching football, lakes, beaches, anything sea-related. And to refuel? Discovering new food spots. I’m at my happiest when eating.
What is your hidden talent?
I have an uncanny ability to completely clear a room during karaoke. It’s impressive how consistent I am at this.
What is one of your favourite quotes?
“Mistakes are the portals of discovery.”
James Joyce“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.”
Henry Ford“Sometimes I start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way.”
Michael Scott, Philosopher (The Office)
