A popular speaker within National Trust, RSPB and other groups he is very experienced at presenting talks with PowerPoint and in doing so has raised thousands of pounds for different organisations and charities. 
The fact that David presents talks is all the more remarkable as he was born with an extremely high roof to his mouth, nearly a cleft palate with misaligned teeth. At the age of four years old all he could verbally make was a series of noises.
Fourteen years of speech therapy followed at Odstock Hospital (now named Salisbury Hospital) and suffered dental work for the same number of years.
